Brussels, Belgium. February 28, 2009.
Encounter with the TRANSPORT XX installation outside at the Royal park in Brussels, that presented 1200 portraits of Jews deported from Mechelen (Belgium) to Auschwitz, April 19, 1943.

That Saturday morning, Michel van der Burg is filmed by his helpmate camerawoman Sonja van der Burg , while he has started filming, in a flow, in one long take of ca 2.5 minutes, close-up all portraits of the bottom row of the installation.

A long moment – a special moment – the first of the new series ‘Miracles Moment’ started today, May 13, 2024.

Notes

~ ① memo

Door number 123 on our junior suite in Hotel Leopold Brussels that weekend 27 February to 1 March 2009 — a major free upgrade of the standard room that was included in our voucher. I associate, in retrospect, 123 with Simon Gronowski’s Transport XX story, that he told me two years later, and his fascination for numbers and coincidence.

Encounter TRANSPORT XX … | 20240228

~ ① memo

TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels
February 28th, 2009, Brussels. Day two, of my encounter with the TRANSPORT XX installation outside in the Royal park in Brussels, that presented 1200 photographic portraits of Jews deported from Malines (Belgium) to Auschwitz in 1943. One of the stills and establising video shots made that Saturday morning after finishing long take video recordings of the installation, during a walk from our hotel in the Leopold (European) Quarter via the Royal park direction the historic centre of Brussels. That weekend break in Brussels, today 15 years ago, turned out to be a turning point in my life. Two months later – April 19, 2009 – the film TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels was published.
