Michael Dwyer and I spent
two days with video and film equipment in the shop of Konrad Brzezinski, a Master
Watchmaker, during which time we made these portraits of Konrad and his wife Ursula.
The film version is 6 minutes long: its charge is to give a sense of the power
of the world of the store and their love of it. The video is 12 and a half minutes
long and emphasizes their relation to their customers, their history and eachother.
We
have since shot more of Rye's local shopkeeps and have made 2 longer pieces which incorporate the Watch Film:
"Rising
Tide" (24:00) and "Mom and Pop Shop" (50:00)
