SILVERLEAF

Adam Leech
Adam Leech produces videos with a narrative touch. The protagonists of these stories are usually archetypical inhabitants of ‘the American suburbia’ we are familiar with from countless television series. Their preferred pastimes are shopping, parties and interior design - in short, everything that has to do with the aestheticization of the everyday...

INCIDENT. EINE SKIZZE

Andreas Brehmer
Starting point of ’Incident. Eine Skizze’ are fragments of text, sound and image, all related to one another. Thus the length of the text determines the frequence of the images (details of one and the same picture), their colour, as well as text and sound, which, in turn interrupts the rhythm of text and image by its volume....

MOVING STORIES

Nicolas Provost
Nicolas Provost plays once more with the grammar and the codes of (Hollywood) cinema. With a limited number of images, an absorbing soundtrack and a minimal story line, the artist tries to stimulate the viewers’ imagination to the maximum. Moving Stories strings together some four fragments of flying passenger airplanes. Gleaming in the sunlight, they glide high above the clouds...

WARUM WIR MÄNNER DIE TECHNIK SO LIEBEN

Stefaan Decostere
What does one do in a world where it is almost impossible to distinguish between the real and the unreal?

VIDÉO-FIL

Jacques Lennep
In his ‘relational’ video work Lennep investigates into art as an idiom and a structure; how to perceive art and the relationship between art and society. ‘Vidéo-fil’ is a recording of a performance. During a first act Lennep draws an uninterrupted, squiggly line on his face, with a black felt-tip, after which he envelops his head with tape...

A FILM

Marie José Burki
In her video works, the Swiss artist and photographer Marie José Burki explores how the visible can be classified, formatted and categorized. Burki sets out from observation and plays with audiovisual codes. The arbitrarily entitled A film wants and doesn’t want to be ‘a film’. Conceived deliberately for a projection room — i.e...
