'WATER'-een kunstprojekt: Zeilen op de Atlantische Oceaan

    nederlandse tekst:

2 boekjes en een 'Memory Game' vormen samen een promotie set voor een internationale fotografie tentoonstelling over WATER. De boekjes -of reisjournalen- zijn handgemaakt en handgebonden, verpakt in een hoesje met een originele zeekaart zoals die is gebruikt tijdens de zeiltocht met de 'Gemini'.

De 2 boekjes bevatten achtergrondinformatie over de plaatsen, geschiedenis, die wij hebben aangedaan. Het eerste boekje gaat over de zeiltocht van Simonstown in Zuid Afrika naar Fortaleza in Brazilië. Het tweede boekje gaat over de tocht van Sint Maarten in de Cariben naar Nederland.

De 'Memory Game' (ter 'leering ende vermaeck') is net als de twee boekjes door nummers verbonden met een website waar alle gegevens van het onderzoek, wat is gedaan voor het project, op staan.

WATER -an art project

2 long sailing trips on the Atlantic Ocean were the reason for my fascination with WATER, ocean and discovery and the start of a thorough research. Project's aim is an exhibition of art photography which will travel the world and a book "SAIl- around the world in 80 pages"

2 booklets and a 'Memory Game' form together the promotion pack for this project. They are handmade, handbound and packed together in a case with a jacket made from an original nautical chart as used during our voyage with sailing yacht 'Gemini'.

The first booklet 'South Atlantic Ocean' gives more information about countries and places we visited from Simonstown in South Africa to Fortaleza in Brazil.

The second booklet 'North Atlantic Ocean'', covers Sint Maarten in the Caribbean to the Netherlands and has also more information about our living ocean as an environment.

The 'Memory Game' will test your memory and knowledge about some of the topics from the project.

Numbers in the book link directly to a website with much more information (www.water-artproject.com/resources.html). Because of the size of this webpage it may be easier to download a pdf file here: www.WATER-artproject.com/water-artproject-resources.pdf

Detailed information about the actual sailing can be found on these two websites: 2014sail2015.wordpress.com (English) and www.sy-gemini.nl (in Dutch).

The Art Photography has been created in such a way -by layered printing, combining images and unique techniques- that the works become 3-dimensional. they all measure 120 x 70 cm., framed and packed in flight cases, ready to travel the world!

'Sail' around the world in 80 pages

<= last | next =>


The book 'Sail' around the world in 80 pages' covers many interesting facts of the great discovery voyages as well as some in depth information about our Oceans. With topics as diverse as "Who discovered America?" (it was not Columbus, that is for sure), "Whaling in the Azores", Utopia, the chronometer of James Harrison and Napoleon at Saint Helena or: slavery, pollution of the oceans and overfishing.

The idea was born on 2 long sailing trips on the Atlantic Oceaan, first voyage from Simonstown (SA) round Cape of Good Hope, via Namibia to Fortaleza in Brazil and the second trip from Sint Maarten (Caribean) via Bermuda and the Azores to Europe.



A continuous book of 80 pages in a harmonica form, meaning you get 80 full-colour front pages and 80 reverses with drawings, etchings and info-graphics.

It is interactive, all images in the book have numbers which, with the correct webaddress, will send you to a large archive (resources.html) on the internet with much more information.

It is handbound in a piece of sail from sy-GEMINI, the sailing boat with which the voyages were made.

This book is published to raise money for an upcoming exhibition of art photography, travelling the world.

Buy the book, still at the reduced price of € 30,-- + postage, is a perfect gift and consider yourself a sponsor for a great art event.

500 copies, size 13x18 cm. 80 pages with printed reverse.
