"The real journey of discovery does not consist of seeking new landscapes, but of perceiving with new eyes."
Marcel Proust
Moving Landscapes is a traveling exhibition, a Sense of Place initiative of artistic director and pioneer Joop Mulder. With cultural landscape projects, Sense of Place makes the unique value of nature, landscape and cultural history of the Wadden Sea region as UNESCO World Heritage visible to a wider audience. The five landscape artworks of Moving Landscapes manipulate, affect and navigate the perspective of the viewer. They make the invisible visible and invite audiences to make a new journey of discovery through the landscape and create a fresh look at the Wadden area.
Inspired by an existing installation that was previously shown on Oerol, the Camera Batavia by Arjen Boerstra, a group of Dutch artists has been invited to create five new works. They have become: Level by Bouke Groen, Tumbling in Time by Sofie Doeland, Here We Are by Theun Mosk, Draaiing by Hart van Veen and Luw by Firma Kluit.
Moving Landscapes has been realized by Sense of Place and Oerol Festival Terschelling, in co-production with the Museum Kunst der Westküste on the German Wadden island of Föhr. After the pilot at Oerol Festival Terschelling, the exhibition can now be seen on Föhr.
