Jochen Kuhn Retrospective
With his talent and wit, Jochen Kuhn, who was born in Hamburg but now teaches in Ludwigsburg, has been collecting prestigious international prizes for the last quarter century. His short and feature films are cryptic total works of art made up of drawings, music and text, and revealing a finely tuned sensitivity for the unplumbed depths behind the façade of everyday life.
