Stories
By Heart
Residents of Heerhugowaard read a passage from their favorite novel, a passage from a novel that means a lot to them. We made films to go with each of these texts. The result is a documentary portrait of the residents of Heerhugowaard.
The video installation was placed in the entryway of the new city hall, near the wedding ceremony room. We put a call out to Heerhugowaard brides and grooms, asking them to show up at the new city hall square in their wedding finery. We had a camera crew there to film the bridal couples who showed up and these film fragments recur frequently in the Stories by Heart films.
Commissioned by: Municipality of Heerhugowaard
Principal: Magriet Luyten
