Close Up | Miracles Docs #2 | 20240423
Brussels, Belgium. February 28th, 2009.
Day two of my encounter with the TRANSPORT XX installation outside at the Royal park in Brussels, that presented 1200 photographic portraits of Jews deported from Mechelen (Belgium) to Auschwitz, April 19th 1943.
That day, Saturday morning, three close-up long takes – ‘traveller shots’ – of two rows of the installation were recorded. The first take of the bottom row is presented in slow-motion here. Two months later – April 19, 2009 – the short film TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels was published.
Kazerne Dossin digitized the photo’s, that mostly are from the “National State Archives of Belgium. Ministry of Justice, Public Safety Office, Foreigner’s Police, individual files“.
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”.

That day, Friday afternoon, the start of a weekend break in Brussels, 15 years ago, walking via the Royal park to our hotel in the Leopold Quarter of Brussels, turned out to be a turning point in my life. Next morning 3 more long takes, close-up, were recorded. Two months later – April 19, 2009 – the short film TRANSPORT XX — installation Brussels was published.
