Gedenk te overstromen (NL)

Collectief Walden is working on an exciting plan: they want to do something never done before—create a monument for a disaster that hasn’t happened yet. They asked me to help present this to the public through an audiotour at Over het IJ Festival 2023. In it, we pitch the construction plans to listeners and take them through the design process and soil research Collectief Walden conducted at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam-Noord. I was given access to their archive with hours of audio material—interviews with experts and field recordings. I also interviewed all the members about the project. From this, I created 7 short documentaries and 1 audio story, narrated by actor Rick Paul van Mulligen. NRC: "It sounds almost upbeat—and it’s precisely that tone that makes Gedenk te overstromen so successful. It’s a sympathetic project that tells a substantive story and brings global warming close to home." ★★★★☆ Over 't ij festival (7 x 5 min)
