Shutter

Overview

A film about the filming mechanism of the camera. Because of a rotary shutter that is not synchronised with the film advance, the film strip was exposed at different moments while it was being transported, rather than while standing still, resulting in blurred pictures. In this way, Dieter Meier films a self-portrait in the surroundings of a workshop, and also plays with blacked-out interludes, double exposures and lighting variations
