ENTRE NOUS QUELQUE CHOSE SE PASSE...

Ria Pacquée
In the work of Ria Pacquée the relative and the existential converge. She records her presence and that of others in this world, using photography and recently video, like traces of social archaeology. Pacquée begins with the premise that life doesn’t necessarily revolve around knowing and grasping, but that everything starts with breathing and a longing for otherness...

VERSUS & VERSUS

Messieurs Delmotte
A girl is lying in a sunny summer garden, face down in the grass. When Messieurs Delmotte appears in the picture, he sits down on her body. In the second part of the movie, the roles are reversed. Another absurd action from this infamous Belgian performer....

THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

Steve Reinke
Spoken in the voice of American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, with a soundtrack of a picked-appart Black Sabbath song, ‘Fairies Wear Boots’. Dahmer has a monologue for each of his seventeen victims. The artist’s autobiography as a serial killer....

REPÉRAGE

Herman Asselberghs
Why not remake 'Zabriskie Point'? Michelangelo Antonioni's early seventies film was about contemporary America seen from a distance. ‘Moi, j’ai regardé l’Amérique telle qu’elle m’est apparue, sans savoir ce qu’elle est,’ the Italian director stated, philosophically downplaying his thorough research into late sixties U.S. turmoil...

OUMOUN

Fairuz Ghammam
“Dear Grandma, you’ll be surprised to hear my voice in your language...”. These are the first words in a recorded, spoken letter that was never sent, but was instead played aloud in real time by the Brussels filmmaker to her elderly grandmother in Mahdia, Tunisia...

CANAL

Messieurs Delmotte
Messieurs Delmotte teaches us a lesson of balance while he tries really hard not to fall in the canal. This work is part of the series Flying Chickens...

MY BROTHER’S GARDENS

Hans Op de Beeck
Hans Op de Beeck based his video work on his short story by the same name, ‘My Brother’s Gardens’ (2001). In this narrative video work a group of young actors – narrators, as well as characters – move through simple backgrounds and scale models and a story is told about the complex relationship between three brothers: an identical twin and a third, autistic brother...

SANGUINE

Lili Dujourie
It's the one work in which Dujourie doesn’t perform migratory passage on and off camera. Rather, she slouches on a stool in the corner of a room, legs spread, hands between them, leaning against a wall most of time as though fatigued or bored. It's the only time she appears in feminine fashion and much more make-up than usual...

UNCERTAIN MENTAL IDENTY(IES)

Messieurs Delmotte
In this compilation of short works, the dandy Messieurs Delmotte delivers a mild critique on the art world by nodding to famous paintings and performances / actions of the twentieth century. At the same time, he also slashes and destroys unknown paintings such as a shoddy still life of flowers...

THE MUSIC BOX

Jef Cornelis
In 1932 Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy shot ’The Music Box’, a remake of ’Hats Off’, their silent movie from 1927. The location in both films is the same; the only thing that is different is the object the movers Ollie and Stan have to drag up: in the first draught it is an automatic washing machine, in the second a piano...
