Copy Shop

An amazing workday for the owner of a copy shop. Today he is going to find out that both the world and he himself are mere a recurrent copy. The film draws on the poetics and techniques of the experimental cinema of the 1920s. The film actually consists of nearly 18.000 photocopied digital frames, which are animated and filmed with a 35mm camera.
