artist

artist highlights self-care and masculinity from an artistic and documentary perspective. The film celebrates images of togetherness, care and sensitivity at the Mr. Artist Barbershop in Vienna. Filmed by hand the camera stays close to the protagonists. The body rhythm of the filmmaker is written in- and onto the film exposures and converses with the experienced hand gestures of the barbers. Two forms of work, which through craft and artistic expression enter into a dialogue with each other. The analogue, warmly colored and, by montage rhythm as well as shifted views, abstracted 16mm-film exposures are interwoven with the immersive and nuanced sound space of the musician Rojin Sharafi.
