Harun Farocki was commissioned by the Lille Museum of Modern Art to produce a video "about his work". His creation was an installation for two screens that was presented within the scope for the 1995 exhibition "The World of Photography". The film Schnittstelle developed out of that installation. Reflecting on Farocki's own documentary work, it examines the question of what it means to work with existing images rather than producing one's own, new images. The tile plays on the double meaning of "Schnitt", referring both to Farocki's workplace, the editing table, as well as the "human-machine interface", where a person operates a computer using a keyboard and a mouse.
