What Robbie Dingo has done is something Akira Kurosawa only envisioned:
brought Van Gogh's masterpiece to rich, three dimensional life, and for
a brief moment, recast it as a living place. (Brief, for the
construction was always intended as a temporary project, "so it's all
been swept away now, leaving only the film behind.") But for a
breathtaking moment (this is my favorite shot, above) you get to the
most iconic of starry nights recast under the rising sun.
"One of the challenges was to make it look fluid and simple," Robbie tells me. "If I have got it right, then it should look like something that was thrown together very quickly, but in reality I worked on this in dribs and drabs over a number of evenings."
