Empire

Empire: Excerpt from the 2-channel installation "Empire: 7 Degrees N 81 Degrees E" by Eline Jongsma & Kel O'Neill. Made as part of the project "Empire: Legacy of the World's First Corporation."

This excerpt tells the story of Herman Steur, a man whose charitable instincts led him to build a Dutch village in the middle of the Sri Lankan jungle.
