Hannes Schüpbach (b. 1965) creates meditative and lyrical film diaries that explore the power and limits of the single shot and an idea(l) of beauty grounded in a fascination with nature. An accomplished painter and expert on textile art, Schüpbach uses 16mm cinematography to explore cinema’s painterly dimensions, bringing to his films a keen attention to color and light and their effect on mood and tempo.
Schüpbach’s meticulously structured silent films, discover a multi-layered world, often using superimpositions and reflections to explore the hidden depths of the places and people evoked within them.
