JAMES ENSOR IN OOSTENDE CA 1920

Guillaume Bijl
The highly individual and visionary work of James Ensor (1860-1949), familiar for its masquerades, carnival scenes and grotesque caricatures, is not easily categorized under any modern genre. Ensor had close ties with Ostend, where he was born and continued to live, and it was the source of inspiration for many of his works...

LANDSLIPS

Antonin De Bemels
A bleak and meagre landscape is scanned with the camera, quietly at first and almost photographically. After some time the camera starts moving and the compilation of rocks, sand and stones turns faster and faster.

STIMULI POUR UN CINÉMA INTÉRIEUR

Maurice Roquet
A message on the screen commands the viewer to keep his eyes shut for the next three minutes. White geometrical forms appear on the black screen, but you can only see that if you disobey the instruction. If you do keep your eyes shut, the light of the white figures will pass through your eyelids, creating a physical, enjoyable effect....

MONTEVIDEO

Jef Cornelis
Montevideo (Uruguay), 1.300.000 inhabitants, borders on the same river (La Plata) as Buenos Aires. At the end of the 19th century an art scene bloomed here, which stands out favourably against the rest of the continent...
