Doris Denekamp & Geert van Mil - Call me Ishmael

For Three months, artists Doris Denekamp and Geert van Mil lived on the grounds of a psychiatric institution, where, together with the patients, they read fragments of Moby Dick. In the book, Herman Melville portrays the mad Captain Ahab and his hunt for the white whale. During the collective readings of Moby Dick it quickly became clear that the fears, obsessions and sorrows of the whaling crew are still pertinent today.
