Einar Schleef
No Germany Did I Find
Meaningful archival material about the exceptional artist Einar Schleef, who, as a radical chronicler, experienced the depths of German history and the present.
Einar Schleef was a theatre director, set designer, writer, photographer, painter, and filmmaker. A polymath from the heart of Germany, who never found a home in any one country – and is therefore its own most accurate chronicler.
Einar Schleef used all artistic means to delve into German reality, into the abysses of German history, which he brought into the present. Schleef felt, suffered, breathed, and tasted this reality. And he wrote it down, staged it, photographed it, and painted it. From Schleef, we can learn who we are, where we come from, and what is happening in this country today.
We see, hear, and feel Schleef, the physical man, experiencing his successes and his failures. A drama unfolding in stages, taking us on a journey through time with him, his words, texts, performances, photographs, and films, from his childhood in Sangerhausen in the 1950s to the turn of the millennium in a unified Germany.
