This screening program features four video works by Belgium-based artists Nicoletta Grillo, Emma van der Put, Juliette Le Monnyer and Rune Peitersen. 

A daughter and her father trace a family history of migration from Southern Italy across fossil cliffs, an industrial port, and an abandoned village — a territory defined, across geological and human timescales, by leaving. In Brussels, a park at the foot of a half-empty office tower is cleared of the refugees who had camped there, and a new sign goes up: SOON, offices to let. In Ramallah, a single unedited shot witnesses a confrontation between Palestinian residents and Israeli soldiers: the camera widens, the scene unfolds in real time, and at the end, the same men are still watching, still waiting. A dune landscape in northern Denmark, shaped over centuries by climate, extraction and government intervention, is now considered natural.

Across coastal territories, urban districts, occupied streets, and shifting dunes, these four video works approach the environment not as a fixed backdrop, but as a site of tension, memory, and projection. Each work reveals how places are shaped by forces that exceed them, at the same time political, geological, and intimate. Moving between different temporalities—from the immediacy of the present to deep environmental time, and from collective histories to personal narratives—the screening program traces how landscapes are continually redefined by movement: of people, of capital, of sand, of water. In these videos, to inhabit a place is never stable. It is to negotiate what has been erased, what persists, and what is yet to come.

The screening will be followed by a conversation moderated by writer and researcher Bas Blaasse, which will open up a dialogue with the audience.
