dOCUMENTA (13)
– An expedition through Documenta’s world-spanning art stories

 

Where does the wind carry us that blows through the dOCUMENTA?

 

We found ourselves on an archipelago with quiet, poetic places as well as connections to the actual and past political hotspots.

 

We are faced with a network with many intersections, in which diverse places, times and thought-processes encounter each other. Cross-roads where one`s own musings can develop into unusual directions.

 

The film pursues some of these directions, discovers unexpected parallels between Kassel and Kabul, between European and Indian myths and follows adventurously the sounds of a musical instrument, 35,000 years old, just as the sound of an electronically-generated, experimentally created music.

 

We discover touching individual and collective stories, sometimes they can also be found encapsuled in objects.

Nature enters into art at a stage or as an archive, but also blossoming, growing, up to microcosmic particles in quanto-physic experiments.

 

The wind that blows through the dOCUMENTA raises questions – ethical and aesthetic ones; the film presents you with works of art from all over the world and the thoughts that inspired the artists. An attempt to capture the spirit of the dOCUMENTA.

Wohin trägt uns der Wind, der durch die Documenta streift? Er wirbelt Fragen auf, ethische und ästhetische; der Film begegnet ihnen in den Kunstwerken und lässt sich bei der Suche nach Antworten von Werken aus aller Welt und Überlegungen der Künstler inspirieren. Ein Versuch, den Geist der Documenta einzufangen.
