WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — A landscape is intrinsically related to a perspective. It is created by both an individual view and a common knowledge about certain elements visible in a landscape. This salon invites festival artists whose practice revolves around the concept of landscape to share their perspectives. Seeking to find connections between these different point of views, Kosi Hidama’s interior landscape Garden of solid subtleness will provide the setting for a collective thinking process on the notion of landscape in contemporary art dramaturgy.  

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Within a series of small compositions, bodies are placed and displaced in relation to each other. Playing with weight and balance, they counterbalance and shape the space between them. In the margin of the performance, Wouter Krokaert also shows the visual work that underlies it. What is explored in one area is reinforced and supplemented in another, across the boundaries of disciplines.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Do people treat plants with enough respect? What happens when plants break out of the background of our living rooms? Gosie Vervloessem calls on a number of horror movies in which plants frighten us. Sometimes they attack us head-on, but often the horror lies in ominously waving branches and rustling bushes. According to the artist the exploitative human-vegetal relation comes to a climax in the nature reserve, the plantation and the botanical garden. Places with a direct link to a colonial past.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Emi Kodama and Elias Heuninck encourage you to look at an ordinary object and explore a vast imagined landscape through its miniature world. They show that everything can become many things, as long as you allow your imagination to look beyond its current reality.
