“Life measurement”, a street action by Reinhard Manz on the subject of data collection. It was carried out in 1976 in various places in Berlin and in Wilhelmshafen. The data on the lives of the interviewees was deliberately collected only very selectively. They are summarized in data books in the form of completed questionnaires and survey photos. The video conveys a background perception of the people so that you get the feeling of knowing them.
