In The Long Take, Lutz Koepnick posits extended shot durations as a
powerful medium for exploring different modes of perception and
attention in our fast-paced world of mediated stimulations.
Grounding his inquiry in the long takes of international filmmakers
such as Béla Tarr, Tsai Ming-liang, Abbas Kiarostami, Apichatpong
Weerasethakul, and Michael Haneke, Koepnick reveals how their films
evoke wondrous experiences of surprise, disruption, enchantment,
and reorientation. He proceeds to show how the long take has come
to thrive in diverse artistic practices across different media
platforms: from the work of photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto to the
screen-based installations of Sophie Calle and Tacita Dean, from
experimental work by Francis Alÿs and Janet Cardiff to durational
images in contemporary video games. Deeply informed by film and
media theory, yet written in a fluid and often poetic style, The
Long Take goes far beyond recent writing about slow cinema. In
Koepnick’s account, the long take serves as a critical hallmark
of international art cinema in the twenty-first century. It invites
viewers to probe the aesthetics of moving images and to recalibrate
their sense of time. Long takes unlock windows toward the new and
unexpected amid the ever-mounting pressures of 24/7
self-management.
