Guido van der Werve Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen

Dutch filmmaker Guido van der Werve often tests his personal endurance against the elements of nature. To create Nummer Negen (#9), he traveled to the geographic North Pole and stood there for twenty-four hours, his back to the sun, slowly moving in the opposite direction from the planet's rotation.Van der Werve captured his feat in a series of still photographs that he edited into a time.. "Nummer veertien, home," Guido van der Werve's most extreme exercise in endurance-art filmmaking, is a 56-minute work for which he swam, biked and ran from Warsaw to Paris.

Please note: The film starts every hour. Duration: 54 minutes. Number Fourteen, home (2012) interweaves multiple narrative threads: a poetic portrayal of Van der Werve's memories of his childhood home in Papendrecht, the life of his childhood hero, Alexander the Great, as well as a report of a grueling, near-impossible athletic feat: a triathlon covering more than 1,500 kilometers.. Guido van der Werve is known for stunningly poetic videos, which often portray desolated landscapes, melancholic subjects, and epic, at times humorous, journeys. Often accompanied by classical music, van der Werve's videos are mesmerizing tableaux in which the artist touches upon issues of mortality, sublime beauty, and the impossible feat to defy the inexorable course of nature.
