PAINTING WITH PICASSO

Koen Theys
The image of Picasso, wearing only a swimsuit while painting a few masterpieces a day, became maybe the biggest myth of 20th century art. In any case a lot of photographers depicted him that way. Koen Theys rassembled different of those photographs of Picasso while he was painting, and erased the painting as well as the interior of the photo, so that only Picasso with his brush was left...

THE SOCIALIST

Hubert Marécaille
Repressed homosexual, unable to have children much to the regret of his wife who disapproves of sperm donation, a corporate CEO, disdainful of outsiders, finally reveals his inclinations by going on strike alone, to the surprise of a group of bystanders present at the end of their « Alcoholics Anonymous » meeting – with an unemployed man tired of looking for a job and an office w...

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...

JUMP

In JUMP, Shelly Silver placed a static camera in a working-class neighbourhood. Accompanied by a jazzy soundtrack, on the background, we observe modest houses, an old factory and local inhabitants walking around.

IN SEARCH OF WHITE

Ria Pacquée
Ria Pacquée takes the camera for a stroll around the three very different environments of city, mountain and sea. Cataloguing the white objects and images found, these three chapters isolate symbols and colourlessness, exploring absence and negativity in three different contexts. Each image evokes a range of associations and responses, whether emotional or intellectual...

BRUTUS

Edith Dekyndt
‘Brutus’ was filmed during a winter holiday in the mountains. It brings the same image into the picture as in ‘Living (Usual TV. Reflections)’; Dekyndt films here again the living room that is reflected on the television screen...

RUE DE L'AVENIR

Philippe Van Damme
Van Damme’s main preoccupation seems to be time, or better: the visualisation of time. For ’Rue de l’Avenir’ he uses 45 photos of a straight track or (re)construction: the track for a new subway line in Molenbeek (Brussels). The editing moves up and down among this mutilated city-space: a witty study on time and the changing environment...
