Description

Artist and writer Mieke Marple and visual effects artist Francisco García Nava talk about their respective artistic journeys and recent work on Marple's 42 second film for Non Fungible Castle: "Cold and silent, like a heart." The film is a feminist reinterpretation of Antonín Dvořák's symphonic poem: "The Water Goblin" (1896), based on a Czech poem of the same name from 1853.
