Peter Downsbrough
From the top floors of the Wiels Art Centre in Brussels, Peter Downsbrough films a handful of static, fixed shots, and pans the surrounding landscape. We see an industrial landscape with the ever present busy railway connections—a strong contrast with the dark interiors of the building...

THIS, OF COURSE, IS A WORK OF THE IMAGINATION

Wendy Morris
In 1917 the Steamship Mendi sailed towards the English Channel and France. On board was a battalion of South African labour troops. In the early morning, in fog, the ship was rammed by another boat and sinks within twenty minutes. 600 men drowned. A legend evolved around the last moments of the men and the manner in which they faced their death...

DAS MODELL

Florian Gwinner
Reality bites its own tail. Florian Gwinner constructs a model of a world from the viewpoint that reality and its model are one. Starting with a white horizon, a camera tracks slowly backwards in a straight line. On its way, it glides past a few signs of human existence. Gradually, these make way for a church, houses, carsm then ever-wider streets and urban highrises...

ORIENTATION

Sirah Foighel Brutmann - Eitan Efrat
Looking at two locations— the public sculpture White Square commemorating the founders of Tel Aviv, and the shrine of Palestinian village Salame in today’s Israeli Kafar Shalem—Orientation focuses on the ability of architectural material, and of sound and image, to register collective experience. In 1989, the Israeli sculptor Dani Karavan, completed his sculpture White Square...

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...

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...
