What does it mean to fiIm another person? How does it affect the person - and what does it do to the one who films?
A boxing match in BrookIyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home: these scenes and others are woven into Cameraperson, a tapestry of footage captured over the twenty-five-year career of documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Through a series of episodic juxtapositions, Johnson explores the reIationships between image makers and their subjects, the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera, and the complex interaction of unfiltered reaIity and crafted narrative. A work that combines documentary, autobiography, and ethicaI inquiry, Cameraperson is both a moving glimpse into one filmmaker's personaI journey and a thoughtfuI examination of what it means to train a camera on the worId. |
