Still holding still
Dutch title: De Ontwaring
In the short film Still holding still, a 19th-century photographic practice is revived, a short-lived method of making portraits of young children, known as ‘Invisible Mothers’. The film tries to enter ‘inside’ the photos, into the long exposure time required by the very first cameras.
