synopsis
I am going to shoot the sun
by Stephan SCHWARZ
Grete and Josef from a small town in Carinthia, Austria, travelled around the world from the late 50ies to the early 80ies, equipped with a Super8 camera. They shot over 20 hours of silent footage to capture their trips. Stephan Schwarz in this work is cutting, splitting and reassembling the material, giving the images sound, music and new meanings. The tourist gaze of Grete and Josef is undermined and lost to the new aesthetic.
