Still Life
1997 · 58 MIN · IMDB 7.1 · 118 VOTES · DIR. Harun Farocki
Overview
According to Harun Farocki, today's photographers working in advertising are, in a way, continuing the tradition of 17th century Flemish painters in that they depict objects from everyday life - the ""still life"". The filmmaker illustrates this intriguing hypothesis with three documentary sequences which show the photographers at work creating a contemporary ""still life"": a cheese-board, beer glasses and an expensive watch.
