Amsterdam walk (1999)
1 hour walking through Amsterdam center / west, guided.
Normally I choose my own images, but for this film I followed a guide
(asked for an artists project during the Unlimited.nl/2 exhibition in De Appel) for 80 minutes and followed exactly with my camera how he walked
and talked and when he stood still I stood still, looking around a little bit. I filmed in one single shot, starting in front of De Appel in
Amsterdam and ending in a cafeteria, where the camera is standing on a table with a close-up to my body while eating a hamburger.
This work raises questions about how important is the way I look and what is the difference between information given by somebody else or chosen
by myself and what are 'outside' / 'inside' influences and what are they doing with me? Who tells me how and where to move in a city?

Manhattan, filmed in one single shot and the camera is filming the way I walk, look and see around me. It is about my physical absence in the
image, but presence in the movements.

Williamsburgbridge (1994)
1 hour walking on the Williamsburgbridge, New York, from Manhattan to Brooklyn
I walked over the Williamsburgbridge between the end of the day and the beginning of the evening and asked a friend to shoot this walk. Everything is important in this film. The sound, the images,
the structure of the bridge. The way of filming. The difference between light and dark. Day or night. The different uses of the bridge
(walking, bikes, cars and subway). duration 50 minutes.
