Hilly
Withaar

The video we send in for this edition from Arte Laguna is made by Hilly Withaar and Henk Westerhof visual artist en photographer.  It is an jointly artwork and  part of an installation. We worked on this project for quite a long time in different stages. The video  is an  display from the first sculpture ( a mother with a dead child on her lap) Hilly made after tragic accident in her family. The sculpture stood for years at her home, waiting for an not yet known destination. With Henk the plan was born to make this sculpture, a Piëta as the subject for a bigger project. We build an installation, made movies with actors, find an artist who made music for us and made this video from the first edition.

 This movie is an exact representation of what it should be. A short movie with a tranquil atmospere, repeating itself every 3 minutes.
