INTERFÉRENCES ET VARIATIONS

Marie José Burki
For this video, I had quite a simple idea: to confront seeing and listening, audio and video, image and voice. First I wrote two fragments. In the final edit, one of them opens the video and the other one closes it. Then I collected fragments of texts, notes and quotations, between which I established a dialogue...

REPROMOTION

Jan De Cock
In Repromotion, the first film by the artist Jan De Cock, we see a new perspective opening up in his work. The title refers to the exhibition of the same name held at Bozar in summer 2009, which, together with the artist’s studio in Brussels, provides the backdrop for a surprising tableau...

PAPILLON D'AMOUR

Nicolas Provost
Papillon d’amour is based on key scenes from Akira Kurosawa’s classic Rashômon [1950], which are modified by a simple intervention: the insertion of a vertical axis of reflection through the image center. This central axis defines the focus of agency and, at the same time, the sphere of maximum turbulence on the image plane...

BRASILIA

Robert Suermondt
It is astonishing to see to which degree the sequences of persons can look like real scenes of fiction. The inhabitants of Brasilia – most of them are officials – run around from one office to another without wearing a jacket. In their shirtsleeves they look like men of action. Showing them from a distance makes them look like small puppets placed in a scale model replica of the city...

DE KLOK SLAAT VIJF: TEXTIELARBEIDER

Jef Cornelis
Some 200 years ago, spinning and weaving used to be a domestic industry. Women and children spun, the men wove. With the invention of the flying shuttle in the eighteenth century, weaving became industrialized. Some time later, in England a semi-mechanic spinning machine was invented. In Belgium, the town of Ghent was the main centre of the textile industry...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 47. DREAM WORK

Steve Reinke
We have been encouraged to analyse our sexless dreams as being latently sexual, full of repressed writhing bodies and blood-gorged organs. This project, this analysis is referred to as dream work. It assumes latent though is transformed by the processes of condensation and displacement into the manifest content of the dream...

THE LOGIC JACKET

Messieurs Delmotte
One sunny late afternoon, a man hangs his jacket in a tree on a rather unconventional way. This work is part of the series UNDO / REDO...

IJSBREKER 17: VAN TOETERS EN BLAZERS

Jef Cornelis - Stefaan Decostere - Karel Schoetens - Jackie Claeys
For the very first time the Flemish public broadcasting network lifts a corner of the veil which surrounds one of the main aspects of amateur art: the world of local musical associations, symphonic bands and brass bands. From Dutch Limburg a live report is transmitted of a large-scale symphonic band festival. At the same time the brass band Midden-Brabant responds over another satellite uplink...
