Where to Watch Metamorphosen 1 (1978)

Summary

For the 1977 intermedia exhibition Tangents I, Dammbeck and artist Frieder Heinze had planned a film that would combine non-camera animation with 35mm footage of a train ride through Dresden. When Tangents I was banned Dammbeck continued working on the film by himself. METAMORPHOSES I – the first experimental film to be shown publicly in the GDR – marks the filmic beginning of Dammbeck’s long-term art project the HERAKLES-KONZEPT (HERCULES CONCEPT).
