Taylorism 1-3

О фильме

I asked my friends to rehearse and repeat any series of simple movements. On the basis of these movements I animated a drawing into their hands. At the end of the 19th century, a scientist and manager F. W. Taylor found out that degree of working efficiency distinctly rises when a complex manufacturing activity is divided into many simple operations. Taylorism series thematizes a working activity. I’m interested in the relationship between a taylorist routine and a frame-by-frame animation, the production of goods and a sequence of movie frames. (Matěj Smetana)
