W.I.M. THE ART OF SEEING
Bundeskunsthalle Bonn
The act of seeing is a precious act, and the loving gaze is a means of continually preserving this sense of seeing. – Wim Wenders
On the occasion of his 80th birthday, the Bundeskunsthalle is dedicating a large, immersive and visually powerful exhibition to the filmmaker and artist Wim Wenders, which is being conceived together with the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum.
The exhibition sets out to focus not only on his innovative cinematography but to present it alongside a survey of his wider creative output. This includes his photographs, collages and drawings, as well as his extensive personal film library, posters and his ‘electronic paintings’. Storyboards, props and behind-the-scenes material, inspiration drawn from art and music and, as a special highlight, a large immersive cinematographic installation with state-of-the-art image and sound technology invite visitors to immerse themselves in Wenders’ cinematic oeuvre. In the audio guide, Wim Wenders himself takes visitors through the exhibition and offers insight into the context and background of the exhibits.
An exhibition of the Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn, in co-operation with the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, the Wim Wenders Stiftung, Düsseldorf, Wenders Images, Berlin and with the kind support of Road Movies, Berlin.
