About the film

Joseph Beuys, the man with the hat, was the first German artist to be given a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Thirty years after his death he feels like a visionary who was, and still is, ahead of his time. From previously unpublished audio and video footage Veiel creates an associative, porous portrait which, like the artist himself, opens up spaces for ideas rather than proclaiming statements.
