Zandvoort
|
A beach-landscape, recorded from quite a distance. People - who at a distance are no more than small stick-figures - move in a comical, cartoon-like fashion across the beach, with small dot-like dogs, moving at lightning speed around them.
Some parts of the day are missing, for the people continuously vanish in thin-air and sometimes the tide comes up or goes down in one blink. The editing, however, does not exist out of hard cuts, but smoothly fades in and out, making the transitions not contrasting but part of the beach day.
In several minutes a day goes by, with some excitement - a horse!, kite-surfers! - and the casual rhythm of people coming and going. The small gesture refers to a big, if not the biggest, topic: the passing of time. (Steven ten Thije)
