RANDOM WALK

Pascal Baes
A random tour through the visual world of Pascal Baes: images showing his fascination for wriggling, squirming life, tantrist diagrams and psychedelic spirals, microbiological systems and chemical bonds are alternated with edited film fragments from the performances by Aï Suzuki...

L’APOCALYPSE SELON THERESA

MUSÉE DE L'HOMME

Jacques Lennep
Video, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very, least an unusual passion...

PRESSURE

Jan Dietvorst - Roy Villevoye
A portrait of Mumbai as a pressure cooker. The city could boil over at any moment. The attacks in November 2008 only serve to up the ante. Pressure feels as if the makers, and the viewers too, have suddenly landed in a pandemonium: Mumbai (Bombay). Life in this human ants’ nest occasionally turns out to be still rural and small-town...

OOG EN HAND ALS UITDRUKKING 01

Jef Cornelis
For the art programme 'Openbaar Kunstbezit' Cornelis made two essayistic television reports in 1972 about the use of hands and eyes in the visual arts, “a way to look and to communicate.” With regard to its form, 'Oog en hand als uitdrukking 01' ('Eye and hand as expression 01') is very free, certainly bearing in mind the television standards of the time...

BULLY BEEF

Wendy Morris
Bully Beef explores Belgian selective amnesia and its lack of empathy. The statue of General Jules Jacques, World War I hero and colonial agent in Leopold II’s Congo, is the film’s central motif. Standing in the market of Diksmuide, the statue operates as the connection between two imperialistic events: World War I and the colonisation of Congo...

MARINE TARGET

Lukas Marxt
The surface of the Salton Sea reflects the glistening sunlight. Sediment colors the water green at times, at the edge of the image, almost bluish. The camera that captures this gentle flickering and flowing, floats far above a white rectangle...
