Spuren des Performativen

The film captures the historic "Intermedia I - Farbraum/Klangbild" exhibition that took place on August 31, 1985. This event featured over 40 visual artists along with numerous musicians, performers, and super 8 film photographers. It drew approximately 1,200 visitors from across East Germany, highlighting the vibrant but often repressed artistic expressions of the time.

Spuren des Performativen delves into a critical moment in GDR history, reflecting on the intersection of art and politics. Its focus on a specific subculture provides valuable insight into the creative landscape of East Germany during a period of strict governmental oversight. The lingering presence of Stasi informers adds an element of tension and intrigue to the narrative, making it a compelling documentary for those interested in cultural history and resistance art.
