AMS CS
Amsterdam CS is a study of the Amsterdam Central Train Station. “The video is an exploration of the dynamic nature of the Station in an expressive and experimental manner.”
Museum Mile
Museum Mile was shot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum and along 5th Avenue in New York City.
Velserbroek
The title of the video ‘Velserbroek’ is taken from the name of a neighbourhood outside of Haarlem, The Netherlands. The neighborhood is an example of what is referred to in Holland as “Social Architecture.” My intention was to create an ironic documentation of the vast “Social Architecture” project that is Velserbroek. I digitally erased all traces of cars, bikes and people from the video. The time lapse photography was captured with a consumer digital still camera.
The Skin of Things
The Skin of Things by Robert Hamilton, 1993, 8 min., 2 sec., black and white, stereo. Produced in The Netherlands.
The Skin of Things takes place within the realm of the dream and the subconscious. It is a poetic representation of intimacy and love in the age of AIDS – of the fear of contact, of imprisonment in an infected body, and of the need for physical contact.The Correspondence
The Correspondence by Robert Hamilton, 1987, 7 min., 8 sec., film and video, black and white, stereo. Produced in the United States.
The Correspondence explores the physical and psychological distance between a couple. The sensibility of a silent film – gritty black and white animation accompanied by an original score for the piano. The sequences were shot on film, then transferred to video via sand-blasted glass to enhance the sensory quality of film.
