SIGHTLESS SEEING #5: REMEMBER BY HEART by Sarah van Lamsweerde

Immersed in the video-installation Sightless Seeing #5: Remember by Heart, we follow performer LEROY DE BÖCK deep into the collection of the former Theater Instituut Nederland (TIN). Guided by his physical memory, his senses, and by the careful keepers of the collection, we discover small openings in the closeted memories of generations of theatre makers and lovers. Remember by Heart allows us to explore stories of the past and future with our entire bodies. Concept and creation: SARAH VAN LAMSWEERDE, development and performance: LEROY DE BÖCK, camera and editing: ALINA OZEROVA. The tactile projection screen and costumes are created or assembled by JANNEKE RAAPHORST and textile design assistant TZVIKA GUTTER.

Portrait of Adriaen Pieter Twent, Count of Rosenburg, Minister of Public Works, Minister of the Interior, Chamberlain of King Louis Napoleon by Willem Bartel van der Kooi, 1809, Museum of the Netherlands

Adriaen Pieter Twent van Raaphorst, door W.B. van der Kooi, 1809. In 1807, tijdens het bewind van koning Lodewijk Napoleon, werd Adriaen Pieter Twent (1745-1816) benoemd tot directeur-generaal van de waterstaat. In deze functie had hij zeggenschap over het waterstaatsbeheer in het hele land. Voorheen, ten tijde van de Republiek, was dit regionaal georganiseerd. Op initiatief van Twent werd het land onderverdeeld in twee waterstaatkundige districten, die ieder onder leiding stonden van een inspecteur-generaal. In 1809 werd Twent de eerste minister van waterstaat. Hij is hier geportretteerd in het galakostuum dat bij zijn ambt hoort. Ambtskostuums voor ministers werden aan het begin van de 19de eeuw in Nederland geïntroduceerd.

V8 Architects' Dutch Biotope pavilion generates water and food at Dubai Expo

Dutch practice V8 Architects has created a pavilion with its own enclosed water, energy and food system and a leave-no-trace philosophy as the Netherlands' contribution to Expo 2020 Dubai.

Located in the Expo's sustainability district, the Dutch Biotope pavilion features an integrated water, energy and food system, with technology that extracts water from the desert air and uses it to irrigate an 18-metre-high "food cone" covered with edible plants.

The Dutch Biotope pavilion centres on a plant-covered "food cone"

It also creates a cool microclimate within the cone for mushrooms to grow, with colourful solar panel skylights providing the energy to power the whole system.

V8 Architects designed the pavilion to provide "hope in the desert" that technology can provide sustainable ways of living, even in arid conditions.

Water harvested from the desert air is used to irrigate the plants

The practice's other key goal was to ensure all of the building materials could be reused or returned to the earth, and the plot returned to its original state.

"Being in the Sustainability District, the thing that we really focused on is trying to completely minimise our footprint and make it as sustainable as possible," V8 Architects associate architect David Spierings told Dezeen.

The harvested water also falls as rain within a cool microclimate inside the cone

"And of course, being a temporary pavilion, it was really one of the most important things to us that everything would be taken away again, and that the footprint would be as low as possible," he added.

The pavilion combines inventions from different Dutch designers and technology companies. The water harvesting system is by SunGlacier and works by causing condensation on a cooled metal plate, creating drops of water.

Colourful stained-glass-like solar panels power the pavilion's food and water systems

This happens within the food cone, at the bottom of a four-metre pit where it is naturally cooler and darker.

In this cave-like space inside the cone, the harvested water falls as rain on visitors – approximately 800 litres of it on a good day, according to V8 Architects.

The solar panels allow coloured, patterned light into the space at wavelengths that support photosynthesis

The water is then used to irrigate the plants on the outside of the cone and is purified into drinking water for guests.

In the cool space inside the cone, dozens of kilos of oyster mushrooms grow and are harvested daily, while on the outside of the cone there are more than 9,000 edible plants, including asparagus, basil and mint.

Mushrooms are grown in the cool microclimate inside the food cone

The water harvesting system is powered by rooftop solar panels, which were created by designer Marjan van Aubel to be beautiful and recyclable as well as functional.

Translucent, colourful and patterned with a moiré effect pattern, the solar panels also allow in sunlight at the wavelengths that the pavilion's plants need for photosynthesis.

The pavilion walls are made of steel piling that will be returned to local contractors after the Expo and reused

They are made from a new organic thin film technology that works differently to older rooftop solar panels. According to van Aubel, they pay back the energy it takes to produce them in just a couple of months.

The architecture of the pavilion is not intended to be a visual spectacle but to support its function as a "harvesting machine" and to reinforce the sustainability message.

V8 Architects built the pavilion largely from steel hired from locally based companies that will be reused once the expo is over. The walls are made from steel sheet piling and the roof from steel tubes, while concrete was avoided in the pavilion foundations.

"The whole foundation of the building is made out of steel, which I think is unique in the UAE," said Spierings. "Because normally they would cast concrete and we really had to push hard to get this done with the authorities."

The space features bio-based materials such as a curtain made of maize that has been turned into a textile

Sand excavated from the site is used for filling the double sheet piling and as a temporary insulation material, and will be used to fill the plot back in again after the Expo.

The facade is made from an inflatable ETFE film, while the floor surface is created from reusable paving mats and the desert ground.

The pavilion also includes a VIP lounge

V8 Architects plans to leave the plot exactly as they found it at the close of the Expo, with all materials either returned to the local construction industry or given a new purpose elsewhere.

Some of the materials used in the pavilion's interior are bio-based and can be eventually returned to the earth.

The floor surface is created from reusable paving mats

Two textiles by Amsterdam-based Buro Belén feature in the space – a biodegradable canopy and a space-dividing curtain made of maize converted into a biopolymer.

The canopy applies Buro Beléns research into protective textiles that filter out harmful cancer- and sunburn-causing UV light.

Projections and soundscapes complete the visitor experience

The pavilion also featuring floor and wall elements made using a material with a mushroom mycelium basis by Italian studio Mogu.

As well as the main exhibition space, the Dutch Biotope pavilion incorporates an auditorium, VIP lounge, restaurant, shop and back offices, across a total floor area of 3,727 square metres.

The pavilion is intended to inspire visitors to think about how we can live sustainably

The pavilion's elements are tied together by spatial experience design studio Kossmanndejong, which, according to co-founder Mark de Jong, wanted to "tell the building's story in a poetic and sensorial way".

To complement the feel of the dropping temperature and the smell of the oyster mushrooms, the studio produced visual projects, music and soundscapes, and even mushroom croquettes to engage visitors' tastebuds.

The pavilion is located within the sustainability district at Expo 2020 Dubai

"We really hope to inspire people and to make them understand what sustainability is about," said Spierings.

"And the things that we're showcasing here about uniting water, energy and food – I would be very happy if people understand this thing."

Expo 2020 Dubai began on 1 October 2021 and will continue until 31 March 2022. Among the other pavilions is a cross-laminated timber pavilion featuring AI-generated poetry, by Es Devlin for the UK, and a pavilion informed by the shape of a falcon's wing, by Santiago Calatrava for the UAE.

Sacudámonos de la melcocha que saturó ayer el ambiente.

El compromiso del actor británico William Henry Pratt –quien como saben adoptó el nombre artístico de Boris Karloff– con la producción de Frankenstein, quedó en manifiesto por el apretado horario que cumplió religiosamente durante la primavera de 1931:

4:30 Despertar

5:20 Viaje hasta el estudio

6:00 Acondicionar piel, desayuno ligero.

7:00 – 12:00 Maquillaje.

12:30 Colocar accesorios de piernas y cuerpo y botas lastradas.

13:30 Comida.

14:00 – 19:00 En el rodaje. Descanso para el té a las cuatro en punto.

19:00 – 20:00 Se retira el maquillaje.

20:00 Ducha fría, cena ligera, una taza de té y un masaje para volver a la circulación las piernas.

20:30 Regresar a casa.

20:30 En la cama, se estudia la escena del día siguiente.

Lo que nadie duda, es que fue un tiempo bien invertido. Con ayuda del genio del maquillaje Jack Pierce, Karloff realizó una de las actuaciones más poderosas de la historia del cine. Su imagen es imborrable: con la cabeza plana, la mirada vacía, los costurones en sus muñecas y los electrodos en su cuello. Ha pervivido el paso del tiempo e incluso es más vívida que la que la que le dio en 1816 la autora de la novela que desprende la película, la jovencita de 17 años Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley:

Su piel amarillenta apenas si ocultaba el entramado de músculos y arterias; tenía el pelo negro, largo y lustroso, los dientes blanquísimos; pero todo ello no hacía más que resaltar el horrible contraste con sus ojos acuosos, que parecían casi del mismo color que las pálidas órbitas en las que se hundían, el rostro arrugado, y los finos y negruzcos labios.

Como podemos ver, la descripción es completamente distinta a lo que conocemos. La de Christopher Lee en La maldición de Frankenstein (Terence Fisher, 1957) trata de emularla pero no aporta nada nuevo. He escuchado a más de uno decir que parece un zombi o una persona que sufrió un accidente automovilístico. De ahí podemos distinguir tres tendencias para dar vida a la Criatura:

La que emula –completa o parcialmente- la estética Pierce-Karloff. Son las más abundantes. Esto es difícil de replicar pues, como dije, la presencia de Boris es imborrable. Así lo comprobaron –a la mala- nuestro querido Bela Lugosi cuando heredó el papel en Frankenstein contra el Hombre Lobo (Roy William Neill, 1943) o Glenn Strange en La mansión de Frankenstein (Erle C. Kenton, 1944), La mansión de Drácula (Erle C. Kenton, 1945) y Abbot y Costello contra Frankenstein (Charles Barton, 1948). El maquillaje del monstruo no responde a cualquiera. La productora británica Hammer trató de emular un poco el efecto, con variados resultados. La maldad de Frankenstein (Freddie Francis, 1964) o El horror de Frankenstein (Jimmy Sangster, 1970) lo comprueban. Un dato curioso sobre la segunda: en ella encarnó a la Criatura un actor de nombre David Prowse, quien 6 años después interpretaría al malvado Darth Vader, otro ícono del Séptimo Arte. Más cerca de nosotros se encuentran sus versiones en Van Helsing, cazador de monstruos (Stephen Sommers, 2004) o Víctor Frankenstein (Paul McGuigan, 2015). Por su penoso resultado, junto con las estúpidas –por decirlo amablemente- declaraciones de su director merece todo mi repudio.

La que se deslinda completamente de la estética Pierce-Karloff, tratando de crear su propia identidad. La casa Hammer, tratando de ser innovadora, intentó hacerlo en Frankenstein creó a la mujer (Terence Fisher, 1967) y Frankenstein y el Monstruo del infierno (Terence Fisher, 1974). En la primera, el resultado de los experimentos del desquiciado Barón Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) fue una sensual mujer (Susan Denberg), completamente en el estilo de sus heroínas. En la segunda fue una bestia horripilante. Roger Corman, flamante Doctor Horroris Causa, hizo su aportación al adaptar la novela Frankenstein desencadenado del inglés Brian Aldiss. El resultado fue Frankenstein perdido en el tiempo (1990), cinta curiosa donde se dan cita la misma Mary Shelley (Bridget Fonda) y su hijo Víctor Frankenstein (Raúl Julia). En el extremo se encuentran las horribles criaturas de El ejército de Frankenstein (Richard Raaphorst, 2013), donde los irresponsables conocimientos vislumbrados por Mary pretenden ponerse al servicio de un verdadero monstruo: la Alemania nazi. Un año después, sirvió de pretexto para que Aaron Eckhart luciera un musculoso abdomen en Yo, Frankenstein (Stuart Beattie, 2014).

La que intenta ser más fiel –en esencia o físicamente- a lo imaginado por la joven Mary. Creo que una de las más recientes –si puede decirse así a una película que tiene casi un cuarto de siglo- es la de Robert de Niro en Frankenstein de Mary Shelley (Kenneth Branagh, 1994). En esa misma línea se encuentran la Criatura (Rory Kinnear) de en las tres breves temporadas de la teleserie Penny Dreadful o la que vimos en la grandiosa versión dirigida por Bernard Rose –a quien debemos la indispensable Candyman– en 2015.

El tiempo juzgará la perdurabilidad de todas. Es un reto para todo cineasta que se aventure a volver a contar la historia el presentarnos una caracterización que nos deslumbre, conmueva y horrorice. Nuestro celebrado paisano Guillemo del Toro tiene la intención de hacerlo desde hace mucho tiempo, y en lo personal me parece más que capacitado. Los innumerables galardones que ha recibido recientemente lo acercan más a cristalizar su sueño. Y de paso, nosotros nos beneficiaríamos.

Para finalizar esta semana, les pido a todos los apasionados de Frankenstein –que vivan en esta Ciudad de México- que aparten los días 23 y 24 de febrero. Daré más detalles en la siguiente Tinta negra.

Bless mijn nieuwe docente voor theorie.

B L E S S

H A A R

Eindelijk heb ik weer het gevoel gehad dat ik iets heb geleerd en dat iemand een idee had waar het over ging. Ze kan zelfs vragen beantwoorden !! En aantekeningen geven !!! Het is een mirakel. Vandaag ging het over elektronegativiteit en enzymen en bindingen tussen atomen aka basic scheikunde en ik heb het echt gemist. So naar Haarsma en Raaphorst. Misschien moet ik toch maar chemie gaan studeren. (Ik was trouwens op tijd!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!!)

Naast mijn eigen epiphany tijdens deze les, had Mike er ook een. Hij was erg blij met deze turn of events en Dennis heeft een fobie voor geleedpotigen (behalve krabben).

Overigens heb ik nog geen antwoord van mijn fotografiedocent op de mail die ik gister had gestuurd. Ik hoop echt dat ik nog een antwoord krijg en dat ik dus nog mijn boek kan binden in de resterende week tot de presentaties. Very emo if not. Tis namelijk the only thing keeping me alive. :(

Mijn InDesign programma is eindelijk gedownload. Ik moet dus echt even mijn boekje gaan maken en tevens ook nog foto's bestellen bij de HEMA voor de snapshot actie afloopt.

Vandaag ga ik denk ik verder nog mijn elab beginnen. Momenteel zit ik in de IC Lelystad.
