Führung
Guided Tour
In October 2008, at the height of an economic crisis, the highest German statesman visits a university of fine arts. It is but a small sequence – a 37-minute excerpt of an encounter. A universal event: “the statesman, the representative, the dignitary meets a group of representatives.” there is talk of the arts and repeatedly of economy. It is also the attempt at communication under pressure. All those involved appear somewhat tense. Details are getting lost, simplifications occur. But underneath the rubble heap of text the movements of our time, our epoch become visible. Maybe something that in later days will be allo¬cated as typical or characteristic for this time.
