Prelude

1996

“the lead of the philosophers,
named the lead of the air,
contains the shining white dove
which is called the salt of the metals.”
– Johannes Grassaeus “Arca arcani” Theatrum Chemicum

Prelude was commissioned by AT5, a local television station in Amsterdam, with financial support from the Amsterdam Foundation for the Arts and was broadcasted by AT5 in november 1996 in the framework of the AT5 Art-Month.
