De Balie: permanent breakfast

Sunday 3rd of september 2006, 11h00.

I filmed a happening called Permanent Breakfast on the Leidse Plein in Amsterdam for De Balie Live! (live internet stream).
This photo was taken before it started and at the end all seats were taken together with a lot of food for mind and body.

Since 1996 the Austrian Artist Friedemann Derschmidt is organizing “permanent breakfasts” in public space. The initiative is critical about the devaluation of public space and wants to make people aware of the collective experience of our public space.

This happening was organized by De Balie to start of the cultural season within the festival “Het publieke verlangen“.
The stream will be available on demand this coming week.
