The BBK Bundesverband has been advocating for the social security of visual artists throughout Germany since 1971. Our film gathers different voices that talk about the milestones of the last 50 years as well as about the challenges that still need to be solved. It shows why it became crucial for visual artists to come together in a federal association - and, what can be achieved through joint commitment.

The BBK Leipzig is the largest artists' association in Leipzig and the Leipzig region. The association promotes the visual arts in the city and region of Leipzig through its commitment to cultural policy. It campaigns for better working conditions and the preservation of the visual arts heritage and works at the interface between artistic work and social commitment.

Together with the BBK Leipzig, we produced an image film that gives an insight into the intensive work of the association.

Under the guiding principle of Open Factory, the Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA) Thueringen is developing the Eiermannbau in Apolda into a place for many and many things. Through innovative reuse and reinterpretation, the icon of industrial modernism is to be brought back into the public consciousness, the potential of the district town of Weimarer Land is to be strengthened, and added value is to be generated beyond the town of Apolda.

For the kick-off of the Open Factory 2020, we realized a film that presents the site as a future working and creative place with workshops, studios, offices, businesses and productive open spaces.
