THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 84. STENTOR
Steve ReinkeWe are all so physically repulsive, special psychic forces are necessary for us to couple....
PREHISTORICAL STILLS
Charley CaseCase follows the Brussels-based artist, performer and actor Dirk Hendrikx to his atelier where he performs ‘Prehistorical stills’, an intensive piece of body art involving earth and fire – but also sawdust, stones and a couple of nails. We witness how this singular artist makes ‘paintings’ from the positive imprint of his body....
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 SHANGHAIED TEXT
Ken KoblandIn ‘The Shanghaied Text’ Ken Kobland reflects on our 20th century notion of civilization and progress. These are set against an apparently indifferent nature that continues to be calm and unchanged in the face of the struggle for dominance...
PIEDS À L'ENVERS
Michel FrançoisIn Pieds à l'Envers, the camera is turned upside down and rotates around and around the artist's feet. The sound of the footsteps of the artist gives a sort of understanding of his action, but the focus is on his feet while the background keeps on moving in a continuous circle. Together with the reverse point of view, the video brings to lose the viewer's balance in a spiral shaking image....

Time is suspended. Duality becomes unity, symbolised by a spherical shape. Opposites meet in a balance...

THE MANY THINGS SHOW
Koen TheysThis video is based on two sources: a late 60s theoretical text, written by conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth — and a seemingly endless stream of found internet images, invariably picturing one or more persons in the proximity of some loved object: holding it; standing close to it; locking at it...

BOULEVARD D'YPRES / IEPERLAAN
Sarah VanagtThe Boulevard d’Ypres in Brussels, with its large and colourful Mediterranean stores, offers glimpses of the Tales of the Thousand and One Nights. Urban development is now driving out these shops selling couscous, dates and olives. It is this turning point in the history of her own street that Vanagt uses as a starting point for a ’microhistorical experiment’...
SPIRITUAL ANIMAL KINGDOM
Steve Reinke‘Spiritual Animal Kingdom’ is Steve Reinke’s alternative to a television show. It has comedy skits, musical interludes, and little animated aphorisms that act as commercials or bumpers. Reinke parodies, analyses and plays out the narratives and imagery employed in mass culture – while never appearing to take any of it seriously...
