BIK VAN DER POL
'Facts on the Ground' (2009–10)
Film premiere: 5 February 2010, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam.
Bik van der Pol’s project was concerned with the definition of the design of Maasvlakte 2, the land reclamation project that extended the Port of Rotterdam by 20%. What directed the choice for its location? What role did poetics and aesthetics play in this enormous process and typically Dutch undertaking? Their project consisted of a film in which they “roughly and continuously circle over and around the Maasvlakte 2 site from the air, approaching the location like prey, recreating the drawn maps that represent the planning of MV2. Using the helicopter as a pencil and the film material as the paper traces will be left.”
With thanks to Sjoerd Figdor, Cees Pons, Jan Konter, Gijsbert Kant, Tiedo Vellinga, all Rotterdam Port Authority and Arie Heystek, PUMA, consortium contractors Maasvlakte 2.
Film produced in the context of 'Portscapes', a series of art projects commissioned by the Port of Rotterdam Authority with advice and support from SKOR (Foundation for Art and Public Space, Amsterdam) and curated by Latitudes | www.lttds.org
