FILE
Kurt D'Haeseleer‘File’ scrutinises the bandwidth between representation and immersion, showing a world of complexity.

BLACK RAIN WHITE SCARS
Lukas MarxtBlack Rain White Scars depicts a twilight of reality. With the steady shot of a Gotham-like cityscape, Lukas Marxt guides us between vestiges of visionary architecture and narrow planted apartment buildings.

ONE OF US
Koen TheysIn a misty white landscape an endless procession of people roams as in a procession. They are characters from the three largest processions of Flanders. They look like figures from old Bible movies. The men are wearing fake beards, dusty robes and fake long-haired wigs; the women have exaggerated make-up and wear long robes and burkas...
