Daily Cookbook • @1MEMO 20250209

‘Spruitjessoep’ , dutch Brussels sprout soup, in the Daily Cookbook (Dagkookboek by Marianne Stuit) I bought new — two copies for both me and my friend — in 1971-2. I was living in Oegstgeest, Holland, near Leiden, as a student Biology (Biochemistry) at the Leiden University. I vividly remember, sliding across the floor (with a sprained ankle) between my tiny kitchen and student room – in the attic of my landlady’s house – with a large enamel pot of Brussels sprout soup.

Film still : Flow | Miracles Moment #1 | Miracles•Media | 20240513

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

Thank you: Marjan Verplancke and co-workers of the Kazerne Dossin / Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance in Mechelen (Belgium) of project “Give Them a Face”.

The short film ‘TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels’ was published two months later, April 19, 2009.

Number 1234 | 20240303

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.
