Depot - Reflecting Boijmans

In 2019, the renovation of Rotterdam's Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen necessitated its temporary closure, paving the way for the construction of a new facility known as The Depot across the street. Utilizing a blend of archival footage from the Museum Boijmans and visual documentation of The Depot's construction, director Sonia Herman Dolz explores the intersection of past and present. The film follows architect Winy Mass and museum director Sjarel Ex, two dedicated visionaries, as they collaborate to both dismantle the old museum and bring the new one to life. This ambitious project is chronicled in a thoughtful examination of art and architecture.
