In the info leaflet METTE EDVARDSEN >PROJECTS 2002-2010 the following is written about Stills:

"Stills started out as an experiment. I was interested in how video as technology could interact or inform our (physical) doing, and what this would produce in return. I wanted to see how presence could be experienced, like a physical idea, through this media. From a technical point of view the task was simple. I used the camera only to capture, and the people did the 'effects'. I was working with the ambiguities and tensions between intention and action, playing with disturbances of the optical perception and notions of time and resistance."Stills was filmed in Tromsø in 2002.

Mette Edvardsen directs thanks to Reima Kaiponen, Inge Lodewijks, Juha Lämsä, Jouko Karhu, Jari Karhu, Liv Hanne Haugen, Lawrence Malstaf, Yukiko Shinozaki, Leo and Heine R. Avdal.
