Project commissioned by the Goethe Institut and the MIT Open Documentary Lab under the mentorship of Harun Farocki. Labour in a Single Shot explores the theme of work, paid and unpaid, through the lens of the single take inspired by the Lumière Brothers. A 35mm hand-cranked camera loaded with a 100' of film has been used to replicate the documentary techniques of early cinema. A hand-cranked projector is also used as a screening apparatus.
