The Light of the World

The Light of the World, or DAS LICHT DER WELT, is an 86-minute documentary that blends seven layers of images and music played in a repeated manner. Klaus Wyborny captures various cinematic settings through his video camera, documenting the interactions between his films and different audiences.

Premiering at the Viennale in 2010, the film reflects on how viewers are illuminated by the light that exposed Wyborny's original works from 1979 to 1993. The documentary offers a thought-provoking look at the relationship between films and their spectators, making it a significant piece for those interested in experimental cinema and documentary art.
