O-68 presents video works under the lyrical title "The Movies in my Head." All six artists will be showing videos, not only in the gallery's video room and on the LED screen, but also in the main, darkened room, where several projectors and monitors are installed: a video-event. Photos and prints related to the videos are also available for purchase.
Inge Reisberman's videos feature residue mixed with pumped water from a salt flat, a circular animation: fluorescent colors and the movement of motor fuel on water. Light, dark, and colorful. Recorded and staged. A poetic exploration of the movement and cycles of water and matter, and the fragile balance between nature and humanity.
Louise te Poele presents "Surrounded By What's Called Everything Else," a playful film about the production of her commission for the TU Delft Library, TU Delft Heritage and Art Collections. She was allowed to use elements from the heritage collection to create new works. The entire process is stylishly captured in this film.
Miloushka Bokma's video work, "Breath to Breath," draws on the personal and emotional history that every person carries. Experiences, like traces in the body, manifested or suppressed, are reflected in a person's face, gaze, and posture. In staged situations, the human (in)ability to relate to his/her history becomes visible.
In 'Sea,' Rozemarijn Westerink brings together her experiences of staying near the sea and the female body moving in the waves. The movement of the water and the body as an intimate interior space; tangible, changeable, and ephemeral. A triptych within an installation of three projections with animated images drawn with ink, paper, and sound.
Thijs Linssen presents an experimental video in which his home and parenthood provide the starting point. The project explores the tension between order and chaos, fitting within Linssen's broader practice, in which autobiographical material often shifts into passionate or alienating images. Parenthood forms a new chapter in Linssen's ongoing research into personal space and experience.
Tony Dočekal presents 'Paper Stars' in the video room. In the middle of the Sonoran Desert, twelve-year-old Lyric folds one hundred paper stars. As she talks, she moves between childhood and adulthood. Dočekal turns the ritual into a portrait of attention, time, and becoming who you are. Another video with the same subject plays on an old-fashioned CRT color television.
