This exhibition takes movement as its place. It seeks an alternative to the idea that land is a solid, fixed, and immobile base on which movement takes place. Distancing from this, Land is played does not establish a fixed horizon from where to measure the movement of things. Instead, the exhibition occurs in the displacement from one geography to another, mixing sounds of one place with images of another and separating us from the apparent stability of the ground we inhabit.
Some of the artworks included in the exhibition dislocate the properties of one medium to situate them in another: some videos seem to speak more of the stillness of photography than of the movement that is so constitutive of video, there are series of photos that seem to speak more of video and video montage than of photography, and there are voices that describe the visible over the audible.

Please follow the family (2021)
Eva Maria Bouillon
In ‘Please follow the family’, the camera depicts the attendants of a mourning meal after a funeral. The characters in this film perform small, repetitive actions and seem to be isolated in their own thoughts. Because of this feeling of isolation or absence, the characters themselves can appear rather lifeless, as they mourn.

First movement and Fourth movement belong to a series of video creations that share a single visual composition.There is no camera movement and they show a sort of surreal action.The main element of each video moves slowly and is filmed at a certain distance from the camera. In each movement a scenario is introduced in which the artist interacts physically or through digital manipulation, activating narratives that transcend daily life situations.

Lopen op paarse benen (2019)
Bart Walraeve
Lopen op paarse benen (2019) is a film that was made after a stay of ten days in and around the city of Naples. It shows a curious view towards the environment and there’s hinted at the presence of different people without explicitly showing them. The use of a handycam, as a reference to classic vacation videos, gives the film a familiar feeling.

Vigor (2021)
Miguel Escobar 
This video opens a space to reflect on the ambiguities of the color green. During the video, monochromatic backgrounds of different shades of green are shown on screen, while a subtitled voiceover describes connotations associated with them. Some of these shades are described in relation to bucolic or pastoral landscapes that are very appealing to the eye. Other shades of green are used in camouflage patterns, for military uses, for example, somehow subverting the harmless character of the bucolic.At times it seems like the voice does not describe random shades of green, but one by one the color samples of a specific image that is seen from a very close distance. Sometimes the lack of figures on-screen emphasizes a distance from what is being described.

’Sample’ (2017)
Judith Desmyttere
An excerpt from The Cigar Shop written by Alvaro de Campos, one of Fernando Pessoa’s heteronyms. A soundtrack that has its origins in the extreme slowing down of the pronunciation of these words, leaving only abstract sounds to be captured.A slowness that also returns in the digitally created image. The rock as something ultimately earthly, always subject to the slow processes of its formation.
