SITUATION (1)
Hans Op de BeeckA moving camera takes us along an endless row of cash registers in a desolate supermarket. The cashiers are waiting behind their empty desks and it’s quiet as a mouse… The contrast between the inert location on the one side, chaotic and lively in normal circumstances, and the moving camera on the other, makes this absurd sequence into a kind of dream image...
VIDÉO RELATIONNELLE (1973 - 1974): COMPOSITION TRIANGULAIRE
Jacques LennepA short formal study on triangular images, shot in the woods and featuring the artist as a performer. The work is conceptual: the camera 'scans' the surroundings showing triangles formed by the legs of the artist, the branches of a tree, a stone, etcetera....
EGG MUSIC

Case and de Tervarent made this short but sparkling portrait that shows the writer in his daily environment...

A STRANGE NEW BEAUTY
Shelly SilverA disturbing intrusion into the luxurious homes of Silicon Valley. Using an aggressive soundtrack and a full frame often fractured into small rectangles covered by text, Silver reveals a deafening violence behind the glittering beauty and deceptively calm of this suburban landscape...
BIBA-NON-BIBA
Hänzel & GretzelThis whirling dance tape is a visual odyssey from Beirut to Berlin, a woman’s story set in the oppressive civil fragmentation of two divided cities where images of destruction and reconstruction are intermingled. A cutting edge poetic short, that maps out the roots of inner and outer landscapes...
MARCEL BROODTHAERS: MUSÉE D’ART DU XVIIE SIÈCLE
Jef CornelisViews of the 17th century ’Eagles Department’ in Antwerp: façade, wooden crates, postcards of 17th-century works on the walls and a small garden. Marcel Broodthaers is whitewashing the inscription ’Département des Aigles’ written on the fence in the garden...

Even among these versions there are considerable variants regarding the characters, the personalities, intrigues and endings...
