Helnwein in German movie theatres
The Silence of Innocence - The Artist Gottfried Helnwein
|
||
| | |
|
Gottfried Helnwein is an artist of clear statements, uninhibited and idiosyncratic. With his hyper-realistic depictions of tortured girls in the 1970s to the paintings and photographs of today, he confronts us with the dark sides of human nature.

The Artist
Silently but mercilessly he uses the fate of the innocent child to bring before our eyes the human capacity for suffering, making the beholder a passive, and indeed active, accomplice to injury and abuse. It is not for nothing that Helnwein is one of the world's best-known and at the same time most controversial German-speaking artists of the post-war period. Helnwein is an artist who thinks in political terms, analysing present and historical world events and revealing, there too, the structures of power and violence. All his life he has addressed the issue of the cruel mechanisms of the Nazi period. His pictures are an ongoing appeal against collective amnesia, deliberate or otherwise.

Pinakothek der Moderne Gasteig Vortragssaal . Marilyn Manson as a sinister Mickey Mouse, bandaged children covered in blood…, uncompromising, shocking images that bore deep into our collective subconscious and confront our greatest fears – the unihibited creative talent of artist Gottfried Helnwein. – Germany 2008 - Director: Claudia Schmid - Original language: german - Subtitles: english . Preserved fetuses, bandaged children covered in blood, Marilyn Manson made up as a sinister Mickey Mouse – Gottfried Helnwein’s shocking, uncompromising images have disturbed and fascinated the world for over 30 years, leaving a lasting impression on viewers and provoking them to confront their deepest fears. Striking, and strangely beautiful, the Austrian artist’s works are permeated with political, social and historical themes - fascism, child abuse, war, globalisation – and bore deep into our collective subconscious. Sincehis first show in 1971, when his pictures were covered with yellow stickers labelling them 'degenerate,' Helnwein’s photographs, paintings and installations have probed the dark side of human existence, evoking a frisson of horror and excitement. Having been aware of Helnwein’s oeuvre since the 1970s, director Claudia Schmid has become increasingly convinced by the significance and power of his radical approach. Her film reveals the artistic processes and the personal world of an uninhibited creative talent. "It is not my pictures people fear, it is their own pictures in their heads. My works clearly trigger something that is already present in the beholder’s subconscious. If I manage to put my finger on the right spot sometimes it makes me feel like my work has a purpose. And the day when the entire philistine society embraces me would be the day I would stop all of my artistic work. Then I’d know that I’d done something wrong." – Gottfried Helnwein "It is the function of the artist to evoke the experience of surprised recognition: to show the viewer what he knows but does not know that he knows. Helnwein is a master of surprised recognition." - William S Burroughs English title: The Silence Of Innocence - The Artist Gottfried Helnwein. Writer: Claudia Schmid. Camera: Susu Grunenberg. Sound: Jens Krähnke. Editing: Kawe Vakil. Production: Bildersturm Filmproduktion. Length: 116 min. Distribution: WDR Köln, 3sat. |
