Reinier Gerritsen : Dances with Bankers

[sevres_babylone]

This is a 5 minute or so short video collaboration between Toshihiro Oshima and "conceptual photographer" Reiner Gerritsen showing Gerritsen shooting his banker series.

Here is a link to Gerritsen's webpage which includes the "bank run" sequence.http://www.reiniergerritsen.nl

I find his approach a bit convoluted: what he did in this series is to take pictures of people in formal wear running in the vicinity of banks. His references to a 'bank run', and 'running bankers', are in the realm of clickbait. Cheers, OtL

I love those, and their presentation along with it on the website. As a banker for a community bank in a super small town, I simultaneously feel relief not to be among those big investment bankers in that world, while always feeling a whiff of it handed down from on high. It is after all the part of banking where banks turn profitable, being brick and mortar in a small town and serving a local community loses money, but it's the part of banking I actually believe in.

Of the places he visited, Japan seems to be such a camera-friendly place.

I used to make photos like that with a Minox B - but of people running in the rain.
