A Maiden’s Voyage (2015) gives homage to the Belgian conceptual artist Marcel Broodthaer’s (1926-1976) ‘book-film’, A Voyage on the North Sea. The starting point for his book-film was a black and white photograph of a 20th century sailboat in the port of Ostend, and an ‘expensive’ 19th century amateur oil painting of a small fleet dominated by a large fishing boat returning back to port, that he bought from a flea market in Paris. Broodthaer’s A Voyage on the North Sea was launched on 28 January 1974 at the London Offices of Petersburg Press.
