A man waits for the delivery of his child.

Short film.

Film by Balz Raz.

From 1976 and until today I write "Einzelsätze". The entire work has the title "FILOUSOPHISCHES".

«My Filmdiaries, which I’ve been making since 1972, contain pictures of clouds, railway stations water, shadows, flowers, stairs, trees, rails and people; they are light, form and movement. The images, always 18 per second, are arranged as they were filmed and are captured on colour or black and white on super 8 film. The only sound is the noise of the projector and – depending on the spectators – a question, an exclamation, a cough, a laugh or fragments of conversation in the flickering darkness of the room.»

Experimental 16mm film

The allotment gardens on the outskirts of the city of Zurich provide hundreds of unpropertied men and women with a home which they are unable to find in the impersonal rented blocks in which they live. The gardens represent their hobby, their freedom and their living space, which exists side by side with hard work. They cannot however own these "homes" and the film shows the chronicle of the events which took place in 1976 - 77 when construction of the Zurich wholesale market hall destroyed 150 gardens and made many people "homeless". This portrait of a group is complemented by the stories of three individuals.
