ASTRID VAN NIMWEGEN – Arrested time & the Fragility of Being
Film

An introduction to the research ‘Arrested Time & the Fragility of Being’ followed by the artists first experimental documentary film.  

Astrid van Nimwegen gives a short introduction about her artistic research followed by a screening of her film in progress ‘a Few Mornings, an Evening’, an experimental documentary that invites a meditative look at the daily routine on a small farm in the Czech countryside. With great patience, the camera observes how domesticated animals and humans inhabit the place and draws attention to their coexistence.  

Where at first sight all days seem the same, there appears to be a world of wonders hidden within the everyday. When we repeatedly observe, we see something new every time, and it becomes clear that everything is subject to change, from the weather conditions to the behavior of the animals. Chickens turn into individual characters, one goat insists to be milked in a different place than the others and then suddenly, with the arrival of a billy goat, the daily routine changes drastically.
