Hans Richter & Walter Ruttmann

absolutely experimental!

September 10, 2024 – February 16, 2025, Tue–Sun 10 am–5 pm, Thu 10 am–7 pm

The 1920s were not only a time of upheaval and activity in the visual arts on the part of the avant-garde, but they also represented a quest for new forms of expression in the field of film.
Cinemas screened well-known silent films, such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene, 1920), Nosferatu – A Symphony of Horror (Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, 1922) and Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler (Fritz Lang, 1922). They offered entertainment and a welcome break from everyday life.
At the same time, various artists came up with new ideas to break away from the erstwhile narrative structures of contemporary film and to experiment with new forms. This Schau_Raum edition is dedicated to these artistic experiments and features works by Hans Richter and Walter Ruttmann.
