Almost no German 20th century creator has caused similar controversy as Joseph Beuys (1921-1986), performance artist, sculptor, cartoonist, art theorist and temporary professor. His work dealt with a new and broader concept of art that also included the political configuration of society. With his documentary, Andres Veiel undertakes a wide search for prints; he brings to light a wealth of archival material, in part unknown, and gives the floor to witnesses of the time like Klaus Staeck. The total is a collage of graphic and sound documents that allows all spectators access to Beuys' complex work.

Much more than a history of building, it achieves a cultural history of modern space thinking as fascinating as it is revealing. OF THE EDIFICATION OF THE FUTURE 100 YEARS OF THE BAUHAUS makes us astonished and enthusiastic walking through the spaces of modern times that we will henceforth see all creation with completely different eyes.
Almost a hundred years ago, in the peaceful city of Weimar, an artistic radical utopia was born: the Bauhaus, whose impact so far marks our life environment.
From the beginning, the architects and artists of the Bauhaus, including Walter Gropius, Wassily Kandinsky or Paul Klee, asked themselves: How to live together? What does "living together" mean? How can you design spaces so that all people participate in common life?
With Bauhaus, art, design and architecture became political. A space art was created that made it equally important to reflect on the distance between the bathtub and the toilet as about the ideal chair. Starting from the Bauhaus as a social utopia, the film indaga about its evolution, its transformation and its power of inspiration over the last hundred years.
