"In 1955, Kassel art professor and designer Arnold Bode realizes his great dream: an overview exhibition on the development of European art in the 20th century.
The setting is the provisionally repaired World War II ruins of the Museum Fridericianum on Friedrichsplatz." (Excerpt from the film commentary by Dr. Harald Kimpel)
Until today, no film recordings of this exhibition exist. Visus-Vision UG created the present film documentation on the basis of historical film recordings of the documenta archives and the German Documentation Center for Art History - Bildarchiv Foto Marburg. The realization of the individual film scenes took place with the innovative self-developed software VISUS.
The film has a running time of 108 min. and can be purchased from the documenta archiv: Further information
