Cape Ground appears in the Anthropocene. Man has become one of key factors influencing biological, geological and atmospheric processes on Earth. The Bosporus as connecting piece of inner Eurasian border....

THE CURSE

Harald Thys - Jos De Gruyter
In the same minimalist style that would later on characterize 'The Bucket’ (2001) and 'The Spinning Wheel’ (2002), 'The Curse’ tells Maria’s unhappy story. After giving birth to her first child, she has mysteriously lost her husband’s love. The situation is as tragic as absurd, the universe it deals with as grotesque and enigmatic as alienating...

BRAINSTORMING

Bernard Gigounon
Stooping over a directory of Belgian enterprises, one cannot fail to recognize that we have a certain talent for abstraction when it comes to finding names for our companies. Bernard Gigounon likes to think of these as being the result of some very serious brainstorming sessions. Reading the names out loud one after the other, the artist reveals an absurd and incredible tangle of words....

STILL

Michel Lorand
STILL is filmed in the curve of a motorway tunnel. The film, shot entirely in black and white, begins with the ringing sound of a gong, which takes several minutes to fade out. Together with the dying echoes of the instrumental sound, the images slow down as well, until the frame seems to freeze at the end of the film....

YEAH, IN THE BATHROOM

Messieurs Delmotte
Delmotte, wearing a black-and-white striped costume and matching make-up, pretends to be an American rockstar. In an incomprehensible accent he brags about his concert-tour, the media and his home in Texas. This work is part of the series FränZ ünd KoFöN...

WAITING FOR THE SECRET

Meggy Rustamova
Waiting for a Secret takes it starting point from a picture, revealing its secrets by zooming into the various details. Gradually, the picture becomes alive, raising issues such as isolation, linguistical confusion, pixelisation and the suggestion of movement within a still image....

ÉCHANGEUR

Rob Jacobs - Anne Reijniers
In the streets of the metropolis of Kinshasa, young Congolese imagine their version of the colonial past. Around an empty pedestal that once carried a Belgian monument, emerges an imaginary city where archival footage, artistic performances and present-day Kinshasa interact...

L'ÉNIGME DU SPHINX

Jef Cornelis
The work of architect Charles Vandenhove is an exploration of architecture in its fundamental simplicity and inevitable variety of form. His work, and in addition today’s architecture, is explained in the Liège Hotel Torrentius, a mansion from the 16th century being renovated, and this document’s focal point...

LES VACANCES DE MONSIEUR MAG [FRENCH VERSION]

Jef Cornelis
’Les Vacances de Monsieur MAG’ tracks the development of René Magritte’s body of work, and it also sheds a light on the persona of the artist, as well as on his views on being an artist...

UN ANGE PASSE

Marie André
’Un ange passe’ is a vivid observation of the social and sexual economies of prostitution, an indelibly envisioned narrative set in the Veemarkt harbor quarter of Antwerp. Andre tells the story of the prostitute Anita, who displays herself in a "show window" on the square and engages in a self-deceptive love for her abusive pimp...
