Ulrich Seidl – Über das Leben, die Liebe und den Tod

Featuring a wealth of work by the Austrian filmmaker, photographer and theatre-maker, the exhibition confronts visitors with the lives of seemingly ordinary individuals.

In a colourised image from 1962, a woman in a pink blouse raises her right fist, seemingly in victory, with a big smile on her face. Just over her right shoulder, two men look after her while leaning over the open hood of a car.

The Elegant Beasts of Yuzo Kawashima

Yuzo Kawashima is the ‘missing link’ between the classic Japanese cinema of the ’50s and the New Wave of the ’60s. He fought against hypocrisy with a great sense of the absurd.
