Cycle of poems read by Herman van Veen with images by Jules van Hulst – including subtitles in German (translation by Gregor Seferens) and English (translation by Michele Hutchison)

Foarlopich Lân is the title of a piece consisting out of video projected on the Oldehove tower in Leeuwarden made by Jules van Hulst, a cycle of poems by Tsead Bruinja and music and speech by Herman van Veen. It was projected for two months in the public domain. This project was an initiative by Lân fan Taal as part of the main program of Leeuwarden European Capital of Culture 2018.

 
"Video artwork ‘Foarlopich lân / Voorlopig land’ is an occasional collaboration, especially for Lân fan taal. Poet Tsead Bruinja wrote the text and singer / comedian Herman van Veen composed electronic music. Artist Jules van Hulst in turn made images to this music. Herman van Veens reaction to the images: “impressive, bizarre clear, fits like a hand”. Bruinja has included the text he wrote for ‘Foarlopich lân’ in his new, bilingual bundle, which he presented 2 February after the premiere."
