Paris in the 1950s was a capital of the avant-garde and a biotope of new generation of artists and intellectuals. Ulrike Ottinger moved to Paris in her twenties to become an artist and called this city home for 20 years. Meandering between bookshops, concert halls, theatres, cinemas, museums and cafés, she explores the landscape of her memories of the Paris of the past – the city that was a scene of a new artistic and political life, but also a place where the demons of the twentieth century still confront us.
