It is not just the Dutch whose hearts jump at the mention of Easter Island because this minuscule, far away island with the mysterious, imperturbable statues that stare out across the sea is cause enough for everyone to speculate and to dream. Please note, the Dutch only have a historical link through its discoverer Roggeveen, but Cahen has been there himself. He has beautifully processed his holiday snaps with the paint box. The result fits perfectly with the fame of this strange island. The sea surges purple under a lilac/gold sky, the shadows of racing clouds on vivid yellow grassy plains are caught by a camera flying like a bird. The pockmarked images seem to flow with the rhythm of discharging lightning, the chirping of birds or the electronic music. The simple closing scene of a group of children who, after much splashing around, proudly hold up a surfaced sea urchin, is pleasant after all the lovely manipulations.
