The Wonders of Nature the Mysterious world of Jan Velten (2017) Марта Колберн, Martha Colburn
In the 17th century Jan Velten made a book of amateurish drawings of animals, plants and circus artists which he had in his personal zoo in his backyard in Amsterdam. The book is in the collection of Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. For this film I animated these drawings and married it with music by McCloud ZICMUSE on a remake of an early harpsichord. This animated film was made for the exhibition New Nature by Claudia Doms and Eva Pel at LELY, Amsterdam, The Netherlands May 613 2017. New Nature started with the discovery of the 17th century manuscript of Jan Veltens Wonderen der Natuur in Amsterdams Artis library. Doms and Pel examined the 300 year old manuscript of drawings and gouaches which the artist Jan Velten made during a period of approximately 15 years in and around the menagerie Blauw Jan in Amsterdam.
