the video: Pristine Temporality

Drawing on an experience from my childhood - crisp, white clouds chase along a blue sky, over with white cornices edged, brown, brick walls - I made this video work. The experience of stillness confronted with the passing of the time. See time slipping by: shadows that move across buildings and grasslands. You're irrevocably removed from your origin.

For years I've kept the desire to do something in time-bound media with this experience. In music of J. S. Bach, the in- and outro of a harpsichordconcerto, I recognized the movement of the shadows and clouds. I shot new footage on the flat roof of my former studio-building New Rollecate in Deventer, and combined this - when editing my work in the studio - with old footage shot on the coast of Normandy. I completed the soundtrack with an idea from a yet unrealized short film: the voice of a language course tape which lists time markers.
