Born in Morocco in 1982, Hamza Halloubi has lived and worked in Brussels for many years. In his work, Halloubi observes reality through a precise yet poetic gaze.
This solo exhibition originates from the idea of silence, which the artist defines as “an empty space of discourse,” a concept he consecutively translates to the medium of video. How can one make visible what usually lives in the interstices of the dominant image?
History of a Tree is shot from roots to spire by one, seemingly continuous, drone-made take. With a non-human living organism as its monumental protagonist standing proudly at the centre of this portrait, the film evokes the existence of a wider territory without ever showing it. The Oak of the Hundred Knights rooted 900 years ago close to the town of Tricase in Salento (Southern Italy). It is an immovable, vital and perennial part of a vast, constantly changing landscape. With this film, Flatform composes a symphony of forms, speech, and music.
Brussels-based Korean/Dutch artist Sara Sejin Chang (Sara van der Heide)’s Four Months, Four Million Light Years (2020) presents a shamanic healing journey through space and time. This immersive film installation addresses the colonial narratives behind transnational and transracial adoption, through the historical relations between The Netherlands and Korea.

In this chain-letter Gesamtkunstwerk, three filmmakers explore the poetic and political significance of light as it relates to skin colour. PRISM departs from the perspective that the photographic media are technologically and ideologically biased, favouring Caucasian skin. Its three filmmakers pool their distinctive approaches and experiences to explore the relation between skin colour and cinematography, between white-centric privilege and the photographic media.

Avant-garde giants pay tribute to Mika Vainio The late Finnish artist Mika Vainio was an electronica pioneer and one half of the legendary underground duo Pan Sonic. Going by Ø or simply Mika Vainio, the musician experimented with atmospheric ambient, minimal techno and everything in between. In 2013, Vainio was invited to Les Ateliers Claus in Brussels, where he collaborated and performed with percussionist Eric Theielemans and avant-garde phenomenon Charlemagne Palestine. The music they created has been compiled to create a record, released in 2020. To mark the release and pay tribute to the man himself, who passed away in 2017, Thielemans and Palestine are bringing the recordings to life during this RUISKAMER, together with Oren Ambarchi.
