Peter Stämpfli
Painter, born in Deisswil (in the canton of Bern, Switzerland) in 1937. Attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bienne, and then painting classes given by the painter Max von Muhlenen in Bern (56-58). Has lived in Paris since 1960. His two films relate to his pictorial experiments. Filmography: Firebird (1969), La ligne Continue (1974).
Peter Stämpfli is known above all for his paintings, but film was a logical development in terms of his formal experimentations. His field of reference has remained the same through the diversity of his various stylistic approaches: the automobile. Firebird, he says, deals with the car, a symbol of the glorification of its beauty. Ligne continue was filmed from a car using a camera placed at ground level, in front of which flash broken and unbroken lines of the road traffic, which, depending on the speed of the car are like so many rhythms underscored by percussive music. The line is an abstract extension of the running of the film through the projector.
In "Branchements cinégraphiques", 1981.
