Note / MvW: ‘I once spilled a bit of sparkling water on my stainless steel kitchen counter and looked at the beautiful drops of water and how they exploded. Fascinating to see, and I wanted to use this phenomenon, but how? What followed was a period of exploring different possibilities such as camera angle, what kind of surface works best, how to start, how to end, how to turn the film into a loop and so on. In making those decisions, I gradually realised that I usually prefer simplicity over complexity.’
