Christoph
Rütimann
Drawings and a Line
Christoph Rütimann, born 1955, collects cities such as
Zurich, Berlin, Palermo, Seoul and Peking. He goes around
by foot and has a unique perspective. Using a digital camera
mounted on rollers which he drives along railings and street
barricades, Rütimann records - and not documents- cities.
The sounds of each city and the uninterrupted resonance of
his camera's rolling wheels are fundamental to the rhythm
of his film, creating a roller coaster ride towards a vanishing
point in every one of the cities he visits. During his one
month stay in Amman, Rütimann added Amman to his collection
of cities.
