Haunted by Detail is a project, which includes an exhibition at Stichting De Appel, a Film and Video Programme at the Filmmuseum, and a publication.

The Exhibition presents practices by international artists who challenge the conventional definition and role of metaphor within contemporary artworks. These artists who, in the midst of daily urban existence, rediscover neglected details and communicating a life through them. They frame and bring to light specific moments, objects, memories and/or stories in their artworks. These details function as metaphors; but metaphors, which are tangible. They ground our perception in the mundane and force us to consider what we already know yet disregard. These practices invite us to question our knowledge and perception, and the way in which we have categorised and processed them.

These artists are Erick Beltran (Born 1974 in Mexico City, lives in Amsterdam), Emese Benczúr (Born 1969 in Budapest, lives in Budapekszi), David Claerbout (Born 1969 in Kortrijk, lives in Berlin), Karl Holmqvist (Born 1964 in Västers, lives in Berlin), Koo Jeong-a (Born 1967 in Seoul, lives in Paris) Leopold Kessler (Born 1976 in Munich, lives in Vienna), Rivane Neuenschwander (Born 1967 in Belo Horizonte, lives in Belo Horizonte), Scanner (Born 1964, London, lives in London), Sean Snyder (Born 1972 in Virginia Beach, lives in Berlin), Marco Vaglieri (Born 1959 in Milan, lives in Milan), Barbara Visser (Born 1966 in Haarlem, lives in Brussels), Akram Zaatari (Born in 1966 in Saida, lives in Beirut) and Tarek Zaki (Born 1975 in Rhyad, lives in Cairo).

The Film and Video Program proposes that a renewed consciousness of filmic heritage has led diverse artists to remodel their own visual language according to particular visual features and styles. Rather than taking a full retrospective view, but through an exploration of the imagination and the resources of historical key filmmakers, an understanding of contemporary art's audio-visual dynamics is suggested. The program presents examples of celebrated but not so often seen film works, produced during the decisive years in which modern independent cinema established itself, juxtaposed with contemporary video works. These newly-arranged and narrated stories, created by diverse audio-visual artists, are a testing ground for contemporary sensibilities in dialogue with established history.
