It was intended to revolve around joint projects by painters, filmmakers, composers and choreographers. Lutz Dammbeck and the painter Frieder Heinze conceived an experimental film. In 1977 the exhibition was banned and Lutz Dammbeck realised the film on his own. A train journey from Dresden Neustadt to Pieschen, shot on 35mm film with a camera secretly ‘borrowed’ from a DEFA Studio, provides the narrative frame. The images of the train ride are superimposed by scenes of non-camera animation, merging into a meta- morphosis of forms and colours.
