The Jan Peters sampler: Every year at his birthday, he filmed one reel of Super-8 material, later on he turned to DV cam. And in these two to three minutes of film he revealed something from and about himself. You may call it exhibitionism how each time he gabbles on, until finally the stained material announces the end of the reel. Sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes tired, often doubtful, he, like everyone else, quarrels with the fortune of his own doings. He questions the obtained and plans for the future.
“Of course Peters the filmmaker blurs the individual of the same name with his dense textual and visual system of symbols to create something else: Jan Peters the fictional character.” (Claus Löser)
