Making visible, becoming visible. The documentary aspects of filming them supplement the paintings and drawings with their circumstances of their creation. The juxtaposition of everyday motifs in the context of family life and the painting during its creation is made visible through the camera of a smartphone. As a street painter, the artist himself becomes a motif in front of the Jewish Museum, the House of German Economy, and the American Memorial Library: painting within the film opens up a multi-layered complexity of images and a diary-like visual experience.
