ONE SECOND OF SILENCE. PART 01, NEW YORK
Edith DekyndtA transparent flag flutters in the breeze, its surface mingling with the surrounding sky as though it were the emblem of it. The sky on the other hand, emerging in the waves that move this flag, appears to become liquid....
THE ASCENT OF MAN. PART III: ACTS OF CONSUMPTION
Jayce Salloum’Acts of Consumption’, to consume or to consume oneself. Sex and violence, sermons of love and social struggle, demonstrations, demolitions. The analogies become almost narrative. From a sex scene to a dissection one, we pass from love to science by interposed organs. Lovers’ hands caress, those of the doctor dissect. Science brings forth technology : screens, clocks, machines.....
SAINTS’GAME

Many centuries later, it ends up in Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Thus, the ice is very old precipitation...
THE DYNAMITE SHOW
Koen TheysSimilarly to most of Koen Theys’ work, ’The Dynamite Show’ also shows a fascination with contemporary iconography. This video was built from video images of various explosions, developed by several American companies, who specialize in special effects for Hollywood films...

Johan Grimonprez‘Bed’ is an interactive installation, consisting of a continuous projection of an empty bedroom projected on the wall of a house or a building.
