In project Facing The World, we make documentaries and picture people through the art of sculpture. By portraying individuals, stories of bigger worlds are portrayed in an unique way.
A project by Mooniq Priem & Jasper van Ogtrop Time for stories
Often we no longer take the time for a good conversation. But there are so many beautiful people and everyone has their own story. During the modeling process of a bust in clay, casual conversation arises and in the silence often the magic arises through which stories come to the surface. Art as a bridge to contact With project Facing the World (FTW) my partner and I are filming these conversations and we are making documentaries of special encounters. Art thus forms the bridge to contact, where a sculpture is no longer an end in itself, but a reason for a meeting, connection and conversation. Facing the World In the summer of 2018 me and my partner Jasper launched this adventures project. As a sculptor and filmmaker we go on the road to portray people, looking for interesting people and stories to share with the world. Spiritual world We have now plunged into 'the world of Kiva gathering', where spiritual leaders from all over the world come together for healing the earth and the people. A documentary about Maori Elder Toroa Aperaha, and Ida Ayu Putu Purnamawati (Day), a Hindu priest from Bali, is emerging from this. Platform The content of this project is growing faster than we can process. So far we do everything in-house, but are looking for a suitable partner to offer FTW the right platform for the videos and documentary (s). We are also working on funds that want to support this project. For more pictures and video's please visit www.mooniqpriem.com |
