PANAMARENKO, ANTWERPEN 1940

Jef Cornelis
In a gallery in Bergeyk (the Netherlands) young Panamarenko elucidates on Donnerwolke (1971) and other models of flying objects. The result is an image of Panamarenko the dreamer, the small boy who likes to put together abstract puzzles, trying to get a grasp on how things work, on the infinite universe of miraculous variations...

NON-LIEUX, PART I

Pascal Baes
An attempt to exorcise the satanic aspects of negativism: the gothic-romantic phantoms, the Eido-Kabuki or Tibetans are creatures that failed to achieve a specific goal in their lives. They keep returning because of this unfinished business. There is the negation of choreographic movement, of tourist scenery and local aesthetic value...

SOMETIMES, SOME OF THEM, HERE

Marie José Burki
« L’homme peut (…) bien perdre sa qualité fondamentale d’homme, sa dignité humaine. Seule la perte de l’appartenance à une communauté politique l’exclut de l’humanité » (H. Arendt) « because I know that time is always time And place is always and only place » (T.S...

THE CRY

Ria Pacquée
In various outdoor locations, a cry is performed. As the locations differ – under trees, in a rough wooden structure, in a field – the distance of the performer from the camera also differs, altering the volume and proximity of the sound. The performer also varies the vocal qualities of the cry, including its length, tone, pitch and volume...

I LOVE YOU, MY WORLD

Jan Vromman
For this film, Jan Vromman found his inspiration in the construction works at the Atomium, Belgium’s national monument. In 2005, the Belgian government renovated the coating of the balls. Jan Vromman recognised the globe of the earth in one of the stripped balls...

PORTABLE STONES

Orla Barry
The work of Orla Barry is like a wall of words, constructed from images – or a wall of images, made up from words. One cannot exist without the other. Raised and bred in Ireland, she explores the semantics and the iconography of her mother tongue...

1937 [FILM, FRENCH VERSION]

Nora Martirosyan
"Two chapters, two time periods, one story. On the one hand, 1937, at the height of the Stalinist purges in Erevan, in the soviet Armenia, the year of the arrest of Nora Dabagian’s father who was a political dissident. On the other hand, 2006, the circumstantial story of this arrest related by the old woman, affectionally known as Baboulia, who was a very young girl in the 1930ies...

NUDE DESCENDING A STAIRCASE

Eitan Efrat - Sirah Foighel Brutmann
The first part of Nude Descending a Staircase is a composition of clips found online that were made by visitors—pilgrims—to the remote memorial site of Walter Benjamin in Portbou, Spain. Each of these individual registrations is anchored in the specificity of the location...

WARM LIQUID EVENT

Hänzel & Gretzel
A sensual video clip made for Jarboe (singer of Swans) and her Beautiful People. A shamanic goddess praising the most sexy liquid in an ocean of bubbles: “Relax and listen, all you do is close your eyes, I’m inside you with pleasure”. A warm liquid event indeed!...

WAAROVER MEN NIET SPREEKT 3: EEN HEMEL OP AARDE

Jef Cornelis
This program tries to offer a solution for the dilemma between the needs of citizens and the reality of both the housing environment and urban organisation, which have over the years completely got out of hand (just think of the daily traffic jams)...
