1971 - Suède - Couleur - 24'
Using archives and images shot in Sweden and Germany, Nestler relates the history of printing as a craft: at once a highly refined art and a caretaking, meticulous labour, from the manufacture of paper to the engraving and printing. With the same precision, the director’s voice describes the processes of production and places these phenomena in their historical context, through to industrialisation and the disappearance of a set of skills, or their reappearance as political art.
