[3] Jeroen Eisinga is born in Delft and studied at the Arnhem Academy of Fine Arts where he graduated for his BA.
Later, he also studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam and from 2006-2008 he finished his MA in Screenwriting at the American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles.
[2] In 1997, he won third place in the Dutch Prix the Rome, a prize for young and upcoming artists and architects under 35 years old.
[2] If a sheep lies on its back, it will eventually die because of the intestines pressing against the sheets lungs and spine causing it to suffocate.
The work confronts the viewer of its powerlessness and impotence to help the sheep, showing that people do not have an influence on life itself as they are often thinking.
Whilst a four month stay in Kenia, Eisinga documented the dissolution process of a dead zebra by filming the event in stop-motion.
[8] His latest film Nightfall features a group of sheep in a snow landscape standing on a frozen lake.
In the foreground we can see a pipe with a small stream of water clattering down into the ice hole, which Eisinga later told he learned to do from Hitchcock film The Birds.
