Bridging the gap between past and present, a series of thought pictures transcribe moments of cautionary pleasure submerged in undulating illusions of liquefied light and shadow.

REPLAY
‘Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.’ (Sigmund Freud, 1856-1939) Memories can be so fragile, so elusive and so unreliable.

Fossilization
For Fossilization D’Haeseleer used video as a kneading machine. Layers of images are moulded into a sticky mess that absorbs and attracts everything it touches. It’s an apocalyptic endgame, starring several cars and some human remains and maybe even some wishful thinking on a moody, rainy day.

Kilvo
A remote, barren, almost unfriendly landscape: Kilvo in Lapland was the inspiration for Radian’s music, and even the accompanying visuals by Michaela Grill play with the bare countryside’s resistance to its depiction. A fourfold split screen shows views of this place in a kaleidoscope of animated digital postcards.
