Emiel van Moerkerken (1916-1995) is known in literature as filmmaker, photographer, writer and psychologist, but he was also a humorist, traveler and vampire, and above all an innovator.
Last December a complete film retrospective of Van Moerkerken's work was shown at the EYE Cinema Institute, in Amsterdam. Currently there is an exhibition dedicated to his photography in the Museum of Photography in The Hague, the Netherlands. A dvd with seven of his short films appeared last week, and a great photo book about the surrealist art of Emiel van Moerkerken, composed by Bruno van Moerkerken and Minke Vos.
Bruno van Moerkerken opened the exhibition in the Museum of Photography in The Hague.
