Film Description:
These short films show how difficult it is to achieve recognition in our world as an unknown and unrecognized artist.
Bridges stand for the connection between two different poles. The name Brückenkunst is intended to express this intention to establish connection. The connection between two different banks. Between art and life. Between East and West. Asia and Europe. Top and bottom. It is generally accepted that art can possess magical abilities, so art can sometimes combine what is normally separate.
This is the unique thing about art and that distinguishes it from the average and everyday.
The art of Brückenkunst therefore stands for a very special spirit. A spirit that is open to the vastness, the open, the connection and not to the separating, the narrowing and exclusion.
The bridge also stands for the ability to take and endure very different sides and perspectives. Brückenkunst stands for this and therefore deserves attention.
If there was a formula for becoming a successful artist and my film would show that, then everyone would probably want to see the film right away. Unfortunately, my film cannot show it. It shows the dedication and hard work of talented artists. Nevertheless, the BrückenKunst artists have not had a social breakthrough to this day.
I am glad that I was able to accompany the artists on this very difficult path for many years. I think that the distributors should not only be interested in successful artists. They should also show interest in the less successful artists.
