Digital craft

The assignment was to choose a work in the Boijmans.
We will use this work as an inspiration source.
Starting a project with a trip is immediately a plus for me!
We had to make a copy of this work and a transformation.
This means that we make a work that is entirely derived from the chosen work from the Boijmans
and one that we make with the work of Boijmans in mind.

The painting I chose is called “Late visitors to pompeii”

The artist behind this painting called Carel Willink.
He was a Dutch painter who preferred to call his style imaginary realism instead of magic realism.
I can understand the fact he preferred that name taking this painting as an example,
it’s almost surrealistic it’s a surreal situation and at the same time it’s a mirror of our society today.

Looking at this painting I am overwhelmed with confusion.
Is it possible that we were already so individualistic in 1931, that our society was already so antisocial and closed?
When a bomb explodes, we do not look at each other, as if we ourselves have nothing to do with it. we are solidly melting in our own egos.

In order to clarify the feeling I got from the painting, I have photoshopped it a bit.
I force the men to look at each other while a volcano erupts behind them.
I force them to no longer ignore each other.
Then I let them point to each other. I believe that we live in a society where everything goes wrong but we never feel responsible for this.
we blame others, and we turn our backs on our problems. pointing out fingers.. I didn’t do it, he/she did!

I made a video in this same posture to copy what I created from the painting.
I deliberately did not take a picture because it seemed more interesting to me to keep it alive.
By placing ourselves as static as in the painting, the small movements of blinking eyes and breathing, I copy the alienated and illogical effect of the painting.

Keeping your arm up like this is a punishment in itself.
I (left) am the only one who looks into the camera just as the artist Carel Willink has placed himself in his painting on the left.
I look at the viewer just as Willink looked at the viewer. almost questioning, "Is this what you want?"
