For the international exhibition ‘Genesis-3-Looking for New Earth’, in the Mt Unzen Museum in Shimabara and Museum Mt Aso in Aso. two projects were realised:

‘To protect your safety’, a short film/documentary

In 2012 Tineke van Veen realised a first short film ‘身の安全を守る’, ‘to protect your safety’ in collaboration with the Dutch film-director Eline Schellekens in Shimabara, Japan. The short film was shown during the international exhibition ‘Genesis-3-Looking for New Earth’, in the Mt Unzen Museum in Shimabara en Museum Mt Aso in Aso. The exhibition was part of the 5th International Unesco Conference. In this film she researched the concept of safety concerning people living on an active volcano. During her residency Tineke interviewed eight inhabitants of different age, gender, profession and background. All questions were related to the concept of safety. Some of the interviewed persons had experienced the outburst of the volcano in 1991, a traumatic experience, because 34 people died.

守る – 反映/protect – reflect, triptych of photographs

The triptych of photographs  守る – 反映/protect – reflect  are taken on the volcano HeiseiShinhanze  during a workshop of the Geo Genesis Festival with Japanese art-students and volunteers of the Geopark. They wrapped themselves in different positions in rescue-blankets in front of the volcano. They looked like golden sculptures, catching the sunlight, protecting and reflecting, putting attention to their vulnerable situation. Three enlarged coloured photographs, taken during this event, were part of the exhibition ‘Genesis-3-Looking for New Earth’, in the Mt Unzen Museum in Shimabara en Museum Mt Aso in Aso. The exhibition was part of the 5th International Unesco Conference.
