‘City Portrait’ project from the Oneminute Foundation
looking for artists, video artists or documentary makers who might be interested in making a personal oneminute portrait for this project.
For this project, that leads to a big exhibition at the World Expo In Shanghai in 2010, about a hundred city’s from all over the world are being portraited. A City Portrait consists of 24 video’s of excectly 1 minute. Each one-minute video represents a specific hour of the day in the city.
From 31 Aug-08 Sept, Sander Leemans, artist from Amsterdam will be in Hanoi to work on the Hanoi Portrait.
The oneminute foundation provides a (small) production fee for participants but more important is the opportunity for artist to show their work/video at the Shanghai World Expo!
