Seafarer
Coming home.
The Seafarers House stands on a jetty along the coast of the Wadden Sea. Every day the Seafarer arrives at his home harbour.
Boerstra built a catamaran and sailed it from his studio in Groningen to the Seafarers House on the island of Terschelling. From the tower you witness the repeating scene of the ship coming home.
The movie Seafarer is developed along the project and featured inside the Seafarers House.
The catamaran Seafarer is built in response to a memory of a sailor who spent the winter with his own built catamaran on Terschelling. The technique of the independent moving hulls is inspired by the Polynesians and the sixties pioneer James Wharram.
