Description

Step into the world of film with this ticket to the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. You will find two exhibitions waiting for you. In our large exhibition space (1200M2), you can visit the temporary exhibition, where leading artists explore the intersection of visual art and cinema. Temporary Exhibition - Véréna Paravel & Lucien Castaing-Taylor - Cosmic Realism Seeing the world from non-human points of view Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor are constantly looking for a new film language that goes beyond the traditional human-oriented view in anthropology. They show the world from non-human points of view, sometimes resulting in intense and disorienting experiences. These works touch on grand, all-encompassing themes such as the earthly, the sea, the mind, sleep and the Apocalypse. Paravel and Castaing-Taylor emphasize the physical and sensory from a non-human perspective. In this way, they develop a new film language with a cosmic view that no longer focuses on humans but reveals the relationships between all living beings. For Paravel and Castaing-Taylor, filming is doing research: they film while they research and vice versa. The camera serves as a research instrument, and the makers do not shy away from getting close to (or under) the skin of their subjects. De Humani Corporis Fabrica For the film De Humani Corporis Fabrica (2022), for which they created an eight-screen installation, especially for this exhibition, they conducted extensive research in five Parisian hospitals. There, their camera not only roams among the patients, doctors and nurses but also penetrates the fleshy inside of the human body into the aortas, blood vessels and brains of those operated on. Just like the surgeons in the film, the filmmakers open up a world that until then remained (cinematographically) unknown and explore it from within. Leviathan In their best-known film Leviathan (2012), a dizzying study of the relationship between man and the sea, they filmed for months on a fishing vessel, attaching dozens of small GoPro cameras to the boat, the crew and the fishing nets. With this footage, they created an organic whole in which fishing is seen through the eyes of the crew, but rather from the perspective of the fish, the seagulls or the sea itself. Permanent Exhibition - Film Catcher, Flip Book and more! Explore film history and discover new film artists with a ticket to the Eye Filmmuseum. Cast and grab film in the Film Catcher, watch a movie in mini theaters, and create a flip book. On the ground floor and spread throughout the building, you can visit the permanent exhibition, What is Film?. Through collection items and installations, you will become acquainted with the development of film, from the past to the present. Head to the Flip Book Machine to make your own flipbook or step into a hypnotic room called Film Catcher, surround yourself with 1000 films and take control.
