An interactive listening experience, based on field recordings and conversations with artists and experts about human interaction with the Dutch cultural landscape in the past, present, and future.

Set against the backdrop of soundscapes recorded in various quiet areas within the “Groene Hart” (Green Heart) area in between Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Rotterdam, they provide various nuanced perspectives on the challenges currently unfolding within the Dutch landscape in general, and the primal cultural landscape of the Green Heart in particular.

Similar to the old masters of landscape painting, these contemporary artists, while cycling or walking, surrounded by the landscape itself, hold up a mirror to the listener and provide food for thought. They explore how humans have shaped this landscape, but perhaps even more intriguingly, how our interaction with the landscape of the Green Heart over time has also shaped us and contributed to our identity.

pedinamento

A highly influential ideologue of neorealism, scriptwriter and director Cesare Zavattini suggested “pedinare,” the Italian word for stalking or shadowing, as a technique for filmmaking. Pedinare in cinema entailed “tailing someone like a detective, not determining what the character does but seeking to find out what is about to ensue.” The etymology of the word in Italian suggests “legwork” as it is derived from the Italian word for foot, “piede.” It is possible to suggest that the proliferation of images of walking in Italian Neorealism is closely linked to the technique of pedinamento, not because all neorealist filmmakers were followers of Zavattini, but because going out onto the street to encounter the everyday life of post-war Italian cities and creating cinematic tools to articulate these encounters were major concerns for the filmmakers of that era.
