The film is about man’s relationship to the camera, with implications in its two-hundred-year history. The film’s focus is on how the camera has been used, how we use the camera today and how this affects our behavior and, by extension, the entire society.

The film is made with archival material, from the beginning of the image medium to today’s content from YouTube and social media. A dizzying, rapping and resourceful history lesson through the history of the camera and photography.
