Dutch film and video art has undergone significant development in recent years. A highly productive new generation of makers is demonstrating that the barriers between film, video and visual art are no longer of much relevance. What unites them is the natural way they incorporate film and video in their work – whether it be a video on a single screen, on multiple screens, or as part of a large-scale spatial installation. The exhibition at EYE offers an impression of the broad spectrum of developments and artistic approaches to the medium of film.
