Sketches on a Movie Set

2019, 3:50 min

During the filming of my husband’s contribution to an Edward Hopper exhibition, I took black and white photographic sketches of moments that would lead to the final version of his 3D Installation.

Which performances develop and change during the time of rehearsal, and which lonely gestures could my camera capture that would preserve the DNA or the genesis of a character? Was it allowed to be a witness to such innocent beauty apparent in any devoted moment of concentration and in every preparing thought? Or was this a forbidden territory that should remain untouched?

In 2013 James Franco was the protagonist in Wim’s film „Every Thing Will Be Fine“ and from the first to the last day of the shoot, I was captivated by how James spent the breaks between the shots and the endless waiting that actors always have to deal with. He read books. In spite of all the noise around him, he remained a man in peaceful concentration. Nobody hardly ever spoke to him. It seemed forbidden to disturb the beauty of the calm space his reading was creating around him. My camera tried to respect his isolation.

Komorebi Dreams

While preparing for the film “PERFECT DAYS,” which Wim shot in Tokyo in 2022, I came across the word “KOMOREBI” for the first time and learned its meaning.
In Japanese, “KOMOREBI” describes the dance of light falling through the leaves of trees. The main character’s philosophy of life is reflected in his daily awareness of this phenomenon. Before filming started, I was asked to capture the protagonist’s dreams.
Ever since I’ve learned about komorebi, my awareness of light in everyday life has changed significantly.

Truth

Truth Passes Through The Creases of Time Like Water Through Your Fingers

For a long time I have been fascinated by the way time reveals itself in photography. This installation is a new approach to the subject.

The single image has become a sequence of images, fading into each other.

Through my Window

2019, 9:35 (loop)

Pondering over the nature of photography, I observed from different perspectives the sunlight that had travelled from far away, through the atmosphere and summer leaves and the dirty glass of an old window, only to draw constantly changing patterns of light and shadow onto the brick walls, the cement floor and the wooden structures of an old barn. It struck me that this silent spectacle was in fact the beauty I tried to capture. This effervescent playful wonder seemed like the perfect image for the PRESENCE of God in his first creation, which after all, had been LIGHT.
