WORLD WIDE VIDEO FESTIVAL
MADELON HOOYKAAS & ELSA STANSFIELD

10 May
Vondelpark AMSTERDAM

 


On a large circular screen suspended from the branch of a tree a projection is shown at night. During the day, a sound tape is played of fragments from movie soundtracks combined with sounds from nature and from the surrounding Vondelpark, and passers-by can project their own imagination onto the empty screen. The images and sounds are from carefully chosen moments in the history of cinema, that are related to the age of the tree. The work is dedicated to the memory and consciousness of the tree, and is especially designed for this location. An earlier version - Day For Night II - was made in 2001, especially for a tree in the botanical gardens of Montréal.
