Gerdinand & Corline

Jeroen Eisinga

All the characters in this short visual poem live in their own confined worlds and their means of expression are lost to everyone but themselves and the almighty viewer, who in this case is represented by a young girl.

Sehnsucht

Jeroen Eisinga

Sehnsucht is a German noun translated as “longing”, “yearning”, or “craving”, or in a wider sense a type of “intensely missing”. However, Sehnsucht is difficult to translate adequately and describes a deep emotional state. A dead zebra lies on a black and white checkered floor and appears to breathe. Seen from four different angles the decomposition of the zebra is filmed in stop-motion until nothing remains but an empty skin.

As It Was Revealed Unto Jeroen Eisinga

Jeroen Eisinga

A picturesque view of a country road gives way to an idyllic tableau of a whitewashed farmhouse, in front of which sits a buxom woman dressed in Dutch folk costume holding a chubby bare baby, whom she cheerfully chuckles. Russian sacred music. Mother and child gaze serenely smiling, straight at the camera. They ascend on high.

Nightfall

Jeroen Eisinga

Apparently nothing happens in Nightfall, and a lot happens at the same time. There is always another detail that attracts attention, the movement of a sheep, the way the forest behind the lake lights up for a moment, how snow blows through the image.

Het Zesde Zintuig

Jeroen Eisinga

When I filmed a mad dog at an industrial terrain I was surprised to see the dog run off as soon as I pointed the camera towards it. I wasn’t sure if the dog became scared because it was surprised that this big eye that was pointed at it did not express any fear, or that it was the dog’s own image, reflected in the camera lens, that scared it. However it may be; the dog got scared and ran away. This made me realize that maybe it also works like that internally. If you face your fears in a calm and quiet state of mind, you may drive them off or even serve as a mirror to them.
