New York is Eating Me & The Cactus Dance

Film by: Jeroen Kooijmans; Design: goodwill; 11 September 2005;

The film on this DVD explores the artist's experience of watching the attacks on the Twin Towers happen from his apartment window in New York. The disaster had a profound personal impact on Kooijmans & his American dream suddenly became a nightmare. The film is a portrait of New York after 9/11. New York changed, the world changed and Kooijmans' initial plan to make a film about moustaches changed .This is a film about the identity of the city, its inhabitants and the artist. Moving backwards or forwards, identity has to be regained.
