Albrecht Schnider – Was bleibt

What characterizes the shy and multi-talented Swiss painter Albrecht Schnider in his creative work are experiences. He reflects on these experiences from his 30 years as an artist. To that extent, the film "Albrecht Schnider - Bis das Bild mich anschaut" (Albrecht Schnider - Until the Picture Looks at Me) not only wants to tell about the intimate, sometimes painful struggle to create a picture, but also to give new attention to his own seeing and recognizing. Not only the world of art, but also viewing habits have changed radically, and the question arises: Is the struggle for the "truth" of a painting still contemporary? With today's digital overload of images, are we still able to look at a picture more closely and perceive our own sensibilities in the process?
