Boerhaave Project

In the second trimester I worked on a short video for the Boerhaave museum. For this I asked an overweighted man to dig his own grave, wearing only white underpants. I edited the material back to three minutes for the exhibition. I never edited my video's before and now I ask myself the question if editing can add something to my concept (and in which way) or either does it take out the strenght of my working methods I used before? Does the work need a cut or how can I use a cut in a way that it adds something to the work?

As a sideproject I work on some experimental shooting with a bolex camera on 16' film.

Also I took part of a workshop in Worm and we developed film by using instant coffee and vitamin C; it worked!
