Der Geschmack des Lebens

For years I’ve been looking for the means to capture everyday life just as it is perceived through a glance from the street. twenty years ago, you could see young people standing on street corners with their bicycles, in fact, if the bicycles were there, you could be sure to find the young people standing there talking. I would like to document these kinds of events. On this occasion, I was presented with the opportunity to do so. For two and a half months, I walked around different parts of the city with my camera and collected images for the film. (Harun Farocki, 1979)
