Marie-Jo Lafontaine. Antwerp, 1950 - 2026.
Her vision, generosity, friendship..
An artist, pioneer, since the 70s. A big inspiration, to us, and to so many.
This is hard, a big loss.
Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

Premiering tomorrow: Isoray, a new work by Yoshi Sodeoka, created for the cooling towers at HORST festival.


Watch as hundreds of virtual birds flow through algorithmically generated formations, flocking, diving, spiraling through an infinite sky. Each flight path emerges from simple rules of attraction and avoidance, yet creates intricate, organic choreography. The work explores how complexity arises from simplicity, and how individual agents moving together can form something transcendent.

Sharp across the surface and powered by 350,000 lumens of light, Isoray transforms the industrial landmark into a vast, shifting field of collective motion, where procedural systems unfold into hypnotic formations.

Introducing the artists and works within the ongoing cinema program Post-Sunsets: Shumon Basar and Y7 with work ‘Core + Lore’ (2023).  

Core+Lore is a film collaboration between writer and curator, Shumon Basar, and the audiovisual production and theory duo, Y7 (Hannah Cobb and Declan Colquitt). Commissioned by Zora Zine as the third instalment of Basar’s Lorecore series, the film—produced at the moment where text-to-video Generative AI was rolling out to the consumer market—tells the story of a Love Island scenario at the end of the world. The protagonists, Core + Lore, are navigating the dawn of prompting, the pursuit of love, and an apocalyptic solar endcore event simultaneously. 

Last days to experience the solar apocalypse at ‘Post-Sunsets’ program on CINEMA TICK TACK.

Introducing the works within the ongoing cinema program Post-Sunsets: Lorenzo Mason with ‘Sunsets and Sunrises’ and Marcel Mejren with ‘Memories of an Unborn Sun’.  

Visual artist and designer Lorenzo Mason has been pursuing a research practice centered on the sunset as both a digital image and a linguistic element. In Sunsets and Sunrises, a multidisciplinary project at the intersection of net art and moving images, he creates and publishes as public domain a series of ever-shifting sunsets with hyper-digital colors and finishes. At CINEMA TICK TACK, a previously unseen sunset dissolves into the Antwerp sunset, creating a moment of contemplative suspension within the flow of the film program.

Marcel Mejren is a French visual artist and filmmaker exploring the articulation of technology within living and economic metabolisms. The form of his work spans various time-based media — installations, filmmaking, sound, and machine learning. Mrejen’s film investigates the contemporary themes of solar economy and the sun as carrier of a new world order. It aims to articulate a metaphysical query around the sunlight as a form of memory, blending archives from French nuclear tests in the Sahara, viral footage of an artificial sun rising in the sky, and verses from Tuareg poet Hawad.

No Tracksuits, No Trainers, (NTNT) by Hannah Perry is inspired by the industrial sounds and materials of her youth in Chester.

A soundscape rumbles across a wave of mirrored silver metal sheets which vibrate and distort in reply, bringing about feelings of destabilization, perhaps of our own response to the way the work fills theabandoned space around us. Discarded car parts and objectsfrom Perry’s childhood memories hang in space, encapsulated andfrozen in time, their feelings of intimacy and stillness contrasting with the raging industrial atmosphere that threatens to envelop them.

Introducing the works within the ongoing cinema program Post-Sunsets: Daniele Costa with the work Seeing Beyond Fading (2025).

This is the latest project by visual artist Daniele Costa in which artistic practice meets the dimension of care, thanks to the use of thermal cameras that replace light with heat.

Thanks to the collaboration with Professor Ines Testoni, director of the Master’s program in Death Studies at the University of Padua, the Costa established contact with Hospice Casa del Vento Rosa, obtaining permission to access the facility’s spaces. During this time, he began filming with thermal cameras, capturing the transfer of heat from one body to another as a form of proximity, up to the stage of rigor mortis. Inspired by Hito Steyerl’s research on thermal cameras as the ultimate visual language of the present—defined by energy and heat rather than speed or resolution—Daniele Costa demonstrates how this mode of representation can reveal aspects of human nature and death beyond the limits of visibility.

At Post-Sunsets, curated by Arianna Caserta at TICK TACK, the sunset of a body merges with that of Antwerp, becoming a collective sunset in which distinctions between environment and individual, between the corporeal and the atmospheric, dissolve.

Hard Love opens next week in Antwerp.

Perry has developed a new site-specific installation across the three floors of TICK TACK’s brutalist building. Responding to the building’s exposed concrete structure and transparent street-facing façade, the exhibition stages a spatial choreography of sculptural elements in steel, resin and sound, creating an environment where architecture, body and material tension converge.
