The Rijksmuseum presents Night Watching, a film installation
Night Watching is Rineke Dijkstra’s new film installation, on show in the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour from 5 September. Presented as a triptych, the film shows 14 groups of people looking at Rembrandt’s The Night Watch and responding to it in their own way – the painting itself never appears. Dijkstra shot Night Watching in the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour over the course of six evenings, her subjects positioned directly in front of The Night Watch to offer them the most powerful possible experience of the painting. BeamSystems supported Dijkstra with the technical installation and design.
During Over t IJ Festival in July, BeamSystems' creative platform BeamLab co-produced a one week open workshop for theatre makers, choreographers, dancers and performers to discover new applications and possibilities within their projects with our equipment, technical staff and expertise. Check out the BeamLab website for all updates on the upcoming Performance Technology Lab.
