THE OASIS OF MATISSE

A tribute to Henri Matisse (b. 1869), whose work full of happy carefreeness is still cheering people up every day. Matisse was inspired by nature. When he fell ill he had to stay inside all day so, well…
The video was shot over the course of 1 day in a botanical garden and the zoo here in Amsterdam. We tried to keep in mind those aspects of Matisse’s work and what could’ve been an inspiration, like the fertility of nature and the exotic shapes in its manifestations.

Commissioned by 'Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam' to promote their Matisse exhibition
