A selection of artists’ film and video from Flanders on the divide between art, architecture, geography
and psychology:

The term ‘psychogeography’ refers to the architectural or geographical surroundings and the way they relate to

perception and mental experience. Psychogeographical analysis is situated on the divide between art,
architecture, geography and psychology and it isn’t merely the cornerstone of post-modern geography, but also
one of the main sources of inspiration to reflect on urbanism and territoriality. A psychogeographical analysis
starts from the exposure of relations, relating a genuine, material environment to an imaginary or possible
environment. This program compiles work by six Flemish artists using such methods. Erki De Vries transforms
a naked gallery space by means of modular interventions. Herman Asselberghs connects the sober interior of a
library lobby to the medial space that surrounds us and Hans Op de Beeck does the same with 19th-century
garden landscapes and ruins from World War I. In Africa Vincent Meessen explores the indefinable territory
between archaeological remains and a potential urban space. Peter Downsbrough’s images of the urbane and
industrial region in the North of France reflect on the past, the present and if possible the future through very
differing opinions. Ria Pacquée evokes the psyschogeography of globalism and a labyrinth world.
