In Process Record

Wolfgang Matt Heuer is next to Bernhard Heisig and Werner Tubke one of the central figures of the Leipzig School. With works such as Behind the Seven Mountains (1973) the graphic artist, painter and sculptor is one of the most controversial and yet most celebrated artists of the former GDR. With mythology, literary references and ambiguous details, he subverted the ideological regulations of the system. The film introduces us to the great works of the quiet but astute image-maker. A haunting interview with Matt Heuer opens up its multi-layered imagery and metaphorical answers to current affairs and GDR regime
