Sensitivity

From 3 to 6 July the film installation Sensitivity (2024) by artist/filmmaker Bart Groenendaal will be shown at de Bouwput, Amsterdam. You are warmly invited to the opening on Thursday 3 July, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Ferdinand Huyckstraat 74 in Amsterdam-West. The installation will be on view on 4, 5 and 6 July, between 12 p.m. en 17 p.m. In Sensitivity, a young woman wanders around the Zuidas at night, and at dawn meets seven lonely characters, who each fall under the thrall of her energy. Filmed with emerging actors and made in collaboration with a quantum-healer, the film is a meditation on longing and seduction in a neoliberal city. The work is both inspired by the paintings of the Flemish Primitives, in which contemporary city-scapes form the background to Biblical scenes, and by commercials, shot at the Zuidas.
