VICTORIA (PART OF PAS DE DANSE)
Anne-Mie Van KerckhovenWhenever Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven sees Marc Vanrunxt dance, she feels the urge to show him her interpretation of those moments. Van Kerckhoven: “Filming a dancing subject heightens its visual accessibility. Opposite to the enforced static position of the seated spectator, the point from which the dancer is viewed becomes personal. It becomes possible to observe details accurately...
DELETE FOREVER
Félix CôteEvery day, thousands of people choose to remove their content from social media. YouTube, in particular, is home to a large number of ephemeral amateur videos in which people express themselves about their daily lives. Although soon deleted, these clips do present a sincere landscape of our connected societies. Delete Forever proposes a ritualistic way of safeguarding these personal videos...
VOMIT STAR
Steve Reinke - John MarriottIn 1997, John Marriott proposed ’Vomit Star’, a six-foot star constructed from fake vomit, for his solo exhibition at the Power Plant Toronto. The project was rejected, regrets lingered. “Marriott and Reinke demonstrate the affirmative value of domestic voodoo in this descent into crime-scene-glitter-porn (which is presumably one word in German)...
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Cel Crabeels‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ is a close-up of a whistling mouth, from a steady camera point and without narrative structure. It is a 1-hour attempt at improvisation on the theme song of the film with the same name. An obsessive image and sound, it etches itself into one’s perception. This work should be fit into a given context of presentation as a video installation...
HISTOIRE D'UN CORPS
Jacques LennepA short conceptual work by this Belgian pioneering video artist about corporality and memory. The artist is in a room that resembles the lavatory of a school of gym. He takes off his suit and a female voice-over starts to sum up some of his physical problems and ailments: scars on the knee, a curvature of the spine due to scoliosis, angiomas...

DE ZEGE VAN DE SLANG / LE TRIOMPHE DU SERPENT
Jan VrommanAn ode to simplicity. In this video the universe is reduced to the limits of a terrarium. But since the setting is rather barren and the beast so solitary, God separates the sky from the earth and populates the world with animals and plants. But then he commits a grave error by installing men in the centre of this universe, because before one notices, hell itself brakes loose....
SANGUINE
Lili DujourieIt's the one work in which Dujourie doesn’t perform migratory passage on and off camera. Rather, she slouches on a stool in the corner of a room, legs spread, hands between them, leaning against a wall most of time as though fatigued or bored. It's the only time she appears in feminine fashion and much more make-up than usual...
VERLIEFDE HARTEN OF DE LISTEN ENER JONKER
Jef CornelisIn the mid-1970s artist and author Pjeeroo Robjee wrote a popular farce that played in the region where he lived. The play was performed in a popular theatre near Ghent by the locals. Cornelis filmed the entire performance, both onstage, offstage and backstage. During the preparations, we see the actors-locals being made up. While the public enters, the tension rises...
A BROKEN RULE
Vincent Meessen‘A Broken Rule’ is based on a performance realized by Meessen with collaborators in Burkina Faso. The video portrays African men taking turns carrying luminous text plates – often the only source of light in the image – through a nocturnal city...
