Rijksmuseum - Hercules Stairs Projection
The Hercules Segers exhibition in the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum opened with an introductory video installation – narrated by John Malkovich – to draw visitors into Segers' world. This is yet another successful collaboration with Christian Borstlap.
I felt particularly proud to have animated this film. The Rijksmuseum is a symbol and a beacon of Dutch culture. It made me think that Europe truly is a beautiful thing. They even built a room with huge stairs in the museum just to project the film on!
