In 1993 it was shown for the first time in M HKA in the \u0026ldquo;Retrospective of Belgian video installations\u0026rdquo; exhibition. The installation is made up of eight TV screens facing the centre and set up in a circle around a video player. A video tape loop comes out of the video player, passing by several tripods before returning into the player. All eight TV screens play the image and the sound that is on this tape. The music is from the male choir of the Catholic University of Leuven, singing a polyphonous version of the famous sporting anthem \u003cem\u003eYou\u0026rsquo;ll never walk alone\u003c/em\u003e. This fragment is constantly repeated while the TV screens show eight close-ups, each of one of the singers. The installation thus combines space and image as well as music. The TV screens seem to support their own carrier. Since the image can never exist without the carrier (the videotape).\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eOratorium\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;(Oratorio) has double meaning. On the one hand, it is musical play without the stage setting, on the other hand it is also a prayer room with a small altar, in this case a small table with a video player. Theys creates a sacral space where ritual and alienation meet. At the same time, he also pokes fun at big emotions such a patriotism and rivalry.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOratorium\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;werd voor de eerste keer in 1989 tentoongesteld in de Beursschouwburg in Brussel en een jaar later ook in Nederland en Rusland. In 1993 was het voor het eerst te zien in het M HKA op de tentoonstelling \u0026ldquo;Retrospectieve van Belgische video-installaties\u0026rdquo;. De installatie bestaat uit acht tv-schermen die, met de voorkant naar het midden, in een kring rond een videospeler staan. Uit de videospeler komt een lus van een videoband, die een parcours aflegt rond enkele statieven vooraleer hij terug in de speler loopt. Alle acht de tv-schermen geven het beeld en het geluid weer dat op de band staat. De muziek is afkomstig van het mannenkoor van de Katholieke Universiteit van Leuven. Ze zingen een meerstemmige versie van het bekende supporterslied \u003cem\u003eYou\u0026rsquo;ll never walk alone\u003c/em\u003e. Dit fragment wordt voortdurend herhaald terwijl je op de tv-schermen acht keer een close-up ziet van \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n van de zangers. Op deze manier combineert de installatie zowel ruimte en beeld als muziek. De tv-schermen lijken hun eigen drager (support) aan te moedigen. Het beeld zal immers nooit bestaan zonder de drager (de videoband).\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDe betekenis van de titel \u003cem\u003eOratorium\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;is tweeledig. Enerzijds gaat het om een gezongen toneelstuk zonder decor, anderzijds is het ook een bidvertrek met een klein altaar, in dit geval het tafeltje met de videospeler. Zo cre\u0026euml;ert Theys een sacrale ruimte waarin ritueel en vervreemding elkaar raken. Ook steekt hij de draak met grote gevoelens als vaderlandsliefde en rivaliteit.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","description":""}]},{"id":4086,"title":"Night Fever","dimensions":"","date_begin":"2011-01-01","material":"","short_description":"","art_status_id":13,"legal_status_id":47,"category_id":21,"platform_id":1,"deleted":false,"asset_count":2,"stream_count":0,"collection":"Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community ","cached_tag_list":"video-installation","publishing_process_id":1,"annotation":"","date_end":null,"reference":"S0454","stream_count_app":28,"permalink":"night-fever","description_ru":"","description_de":"","description_es":"","description_el":"","short_description_du":"","short_description_fr":"","short_description_ru":"","short_description_de":"","short_description_es":"","short_description_el":"","description_ca":"","short_description_ca":"","description_it":"","short_description_it":"","cached_primary_asset_url":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/mhka_ensembles_production/assets/public/000/017/764/medium_500/Night_Fever_Installation_view_%28waking_up_2%29.jpg?1370528591","cached_actor_names":"Frank Theys","hide_from_json":false,"prev_platform_id":null,"description_uk":null,"short_description_uk":null,"description_tr":null,"short_description_tr":null,"mhka_works":true,"poster_image":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/mhka_ensembles_production/assets/public/000/017/764/large/Night_Fever_Installation_view_%28waking_up_2%29.jpg?1370528591","poster_credits":"(c)Frank Theys","translations":[{"locale":"en","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA figure wakes up in the middle of the night and is afraid that he is suffering from a heart attack. \u003cem\u003eNight Fever\u003c/em\u003e is a portrait of someone with a panic disorder.
