Three short films selected by Madelon Hooykaas to accompany the exhibition Revealing the Invisible: The Art of Stansfield/Hooykaas from Different Perspectives at CCA.
Madelon Hooykaas was born in 1942 (Maartensdijk, The Netherlands) and lives and works in Amsterdam. Ella Stansfield was born in 1945 in Glasgow and died of leukaemia in Amsterdam in 2004. The two artists worked in collaboration under the title Stansfield / Hooykaas since 1972 and belong to the first generation of video artists. They are considered pioneers in their field, with their work influencing many video and multimedia artists today. In 1996 they received the Judith Leyster prize for their oeuvre.

One of these days was made as an image impression of Marte Roling, an Amsterdam designer. Integrating the familiar occurrences of an ordinary day with the aural and visual stimuli of the city, the film captures the ambiance of her life. Commissioned by NOS.
About Bridges
The Netherlands, 1975, 22 min.

About Bridges shows the perception and the experience of bridges in three different ways: by the artist, the worker and the user. The film is presented as a cinematic equivalent to the experience of crossing a bridge. The film was conceived and shot in Amsterdam, a city of bridges, and follows three interwoven working themes.
Daydreams
The Netherlands, 1972, 8 min
Directed by Madelon Hooykaas with text by Panayota Kampoli.
In Daydreams, Madelon Hooykaas and Elsa Stansfield are preoccupied by the thoughts and memories that cross a person’s mind during the transitional moment of waking up and getting out of bed.
