The Onion

20:00, Color, Stereo, NL, 1996
Marina Abramović: The Onion

Marina Abramović: The Onion

The first shot is a close up of Abramovic looking upward and holding a large onion. Her fingernails are painted bright red, just like her lips. Slowly she brings the onion closer to her mouth, taking a large bite from it and beginning to chew. Her voice-over keeps repeating the following as she devours the onion: 'I'm tired of changing planes so often, waiting in the waiting rooms, bus stations, train stations, airports. I am tired of waiting for endless passport controls. Fast shopping in shopping malls. I am tired of more career decisions: museum and gallery openings, endless receptions, standing around with a glass of plain water, pretending that I am interested in conversation. I am tired of my migraine attacks. Lonely hotel room, room service, long distance telephone calls, bad TV movies. I am tired of always falling in love with the wrong man. I am tired of being ashamed of my nose being too big, of my ass being too large, ashamed about the war in Yugoslavia. I want to go away.

A woman walks back and forth on a diving board repeating 'Shall I jump or not' while the sweat from her pacing causes her makeup to run down her face. (Perry Bard, Post-Yugoslavia videos at Art in General, New York)

'We are like the flow of the white waters
Like their quickly disappearing foam
Or like the dreams of a slumberer
Or the running shadows of the dream.'

Cultural Quarter

10:00, Color, Stereo, GB, 2003
Mike Stubbs: Cultural Quarter

Mike Stubbs: Cultural Quarter

Cultural Quarter presents the relationships of observation in the city to its citizens, whilst begging ethical questions about surveillance, the gaze and human behaviour. It exposes some of the gaps between developers' dreams and citizens' perceptions of what cultural space means and how to use it.
The film casts a precise and pertinent eye on a daily urban reality in an unspecified British suburb. Presenting a fine balance between reality and its representation, the film's subtly edited movements shift its perspective back and forth between reportage and a form of social voyeurism. The work questions how ideas about "them and us", social coherence, family and community ethics are constructed.

Building

collaboration with Joris Cool and Anton Aeki, 12:30, B/W, Stereo, BE, 2003
Anouk de Clercq: Building

Anouk de Clercq: Building

Shafts of light and the camera are moving through the dark as in a glissando. Flat, sharply cut forms appear in black-and-white and high definition. They feel their way along expanses of wall, opening up storeys, windows and doors, and break down on floors, stairs and columns. In this way, according to a controlled choreography upheld by the music of Antoni Aeki, a truly architectural experience is created on the screen. Like a constructivist audiovisual mobile, the building reveals itself and is being documented as in an architect’s dream. In other words: as a spatial and atmospheric starting point for users to start leaving their marks on it.
'Building' is inspired by the new concert hall in Bruges and thereby also pays homage to the work of Robbrecht and Daem, the Belgian architects’ collective which is well known for such exploits as the new Boymans van Beuningen Museum building in Rotterdam and the AUE pavilions in Almere.
