JAN TIMME
Eine Sekunde
2009

One second of a film consists of 24 single images. The second chosen by Jan Timme is taken from the movie “L’argent” (1983) by Robert Bresson and depicts how banknotes – among them one fake – change hands. With “Eine Sekunde” Jan Timme initiates a complex buying process as well as raffle and exchange processes challenging the mechanisms of market principles and capitalism and expanding the scope of possible operation by the principle of contingency.
