SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FLYING AND FALING
Site specific instalation
made for the Oerol festival, Terschelling.
A multi media instalation and visual
research.
The bunkers at Formerum, a man working on
a mission that is not feasible. Or is it?
A visual installation that does not give away all its
secrets at once. The floor plan of one's
thoughts and dreams. And an inquiry: what
happens when you jump?
Somewhere between flying and falling
(prologue) is both a visual search for a
performance / installation about wind and desire
and a historic mission. This work-in-progress is
inspired by Otto Lilienthal, the first man who
flew, and his brother. Valerie Leersum
cooperates with composer and musician
Gerco Aerts and writer Suzanna Jansen
(oa 'Het pauper paradijs').
At this moment Gerco and Valerie are working
on a follow up to this project.
