Grimmwelt
Grimmwelt
100 years of film history from many different countries and languagesyield a rich repository of contemporary and culturally specific interpretations. How many themes can be presented in parallel? What will be the focal points of the visit? How will visitors, especially younger visitors, navigate the installation? What additional equipment can serve or reveal a useful effect?
The dramaturgy of the film analysis and the precise editing influence the spatial and experiential dramaturgy; only this gives the film analysis and thematic synthesis the necessary clarity. Content and spatial structure must enter into a dialogic process that results in a spatially rhetorically convincing solution. The media architecture guides visitors into an interpretive patchwork that, with increasing length of stay, becomes a world of Grimm interpretation.
The media spatial concept transforms the polyphony of the eras and languagesthat have cinematically explored the fairy tale world of the Brothers Grimm into a multi-vocal and multi-perspective cognitive experience. Furthermore, it fits precisely and carefully into the overall exhibition and yet retains its independent character.
