Silence of the Tides
presents a stunning selection of images from a newly-released
documentary about the Wadden Sea, the largest tidal wetlands area in the
world. Stretching for 500 kilometres (310 miles) and encompassing 43
islands, this UNESCO World Heritage Site touches on the North Sea
borders of the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. The film beautifully
captures the vulnerable relationship between nature and humans, and the
unique dynamic of the Wadden Sea and its surroundings. This book
features frames from the documentary and photographs of the filming
itself which have been selected by its director, Pieter-Rim de Kroon, an
award-winning Dutch cinematographer.
"Silence of the Tides is
a cinematic portrait that breathes and gives the audience the
opportunity to draw their own conclusions." - Pieter-Rim de Kroon.
"A
hypnotizing large screen look into the cycles and contrasts of the
seasons: life and death, storm and silence, the masses and the
individual. All this is set against a larger than life backdrop of sky,
water, wind, mist and constantly changing light." - Film and Digital Times.
