THE TASTE OF LIFE
Harun Farocki
1979
29 Minuten
For years I have been trying to find the means to capture daily life as it is seen on the street. Twenty years ago, you would often see adolescents standing together on the street corner with bicycles in the evening, they had the bicycles underneath them, but stood there talking.
I would love to document such events with my camera. This was an opportunity. I walked around with the camera for two and a half months and put together a few pictures to make this film.
(Harun Farocki, 1979)
