Guido van der Werve

Small notion on this Dutch artist Guido van der Werve.

With extra interrest in this work:

Nummer negen: The day I didn't turn with the world 2007

Time-lapse photography to HD video. Geographic North Pole. TRT 8'40"

A time laps where the artist is standing for 24 hours at the geographic North Pole, refusing to turn with the world. By turning with the same speed as the earth for a whole day Van Der Werve does not.
