Washing

Overview

A super8 camera is being soaped and cleaned under the tap. The film plays with alternating perspectives. Images filmed over my shoulder are spliced through images taken with the camera that is being washed and images from my body under the shower. At some point in the film, I open the battery and film compartments of the camera and proceed to pour water and soap through its inner workings. Here the trickery that is at play fully reveals itself. The camera that is washed is not the one that is doing the filming. This film explores relations between in- and outlooking from a camera, and the in- and outside of bodies, those of the cameras and of the filmmaker.
