Frankendael 2001
digital film, unique HD software and an edition on DVD, duration 9 minutes
Frankendael 2001 is a project for which the artists documented nine locations in the historic
landscape park Frankendael, Watergraafsmeer in Amsterdam. A film has a duration of nine mintes and covers
exactly one year, from one January to the next. On a weekly basis, each of the scenes was repeatedly
photographed from the same position and at the same time of day, around noon. With custom developed
software, each series of shots was edited into fluid transistions to make changes in seasons and landscape
visible. Slow processes of transformation that are never directly perceptible in daily life, are made
perceptible on a sensory level. The calmness - that one experiences on the site concerned - is still
present in the resulting films.
