BEYOND THE VISIBLE - HILMA AF KLINT
Director: Halina Dyrschka
Germany 2019, 93 min, original version German/English/Swedish with German subtitles, Blu-ray projection

The art world makes a sensational discovery - only 100 years too late. Hilma af Klint paints her first abstract picture in 1906, long before Kandinsky, Mondrian or Malevich. In total, she created over 1500 abstract paintings, which remained hidden from posterity for decades. How can it be that a woman founded abstract painting at the beginning of the 20th century and nobody took any notice of it?

This cinematic approach to a pioneer, whose sensual work is not only artistically fascinating, shows a lifelong search for meaning that seeks to grasp life beyond the visible. Hilma af Klint's extraordinary world of thought ranges from biology and astronomy to theosophy and the theory of relativity, spanning a fascinating cosmos of unique images and notes.

Today, the artist inspires millions with her unbridled thinking, which culminates in an overwhelming oeuvre and turns the historiography of art on its head.
