Malerei heute

Synopsis

Stefan Hayn painted watercolors of billboards in Berlin from 1998 to 2005. His work features election posters, cigarette ads, detergent campaigns, and cinema promotions. Each piece reflects economic and political changes in Germany during that period. The paintings serve as documentation of public images that indicate shifts in tax legislation, job security, and domestic and foreign policy issues. The film captures this artistic process and its social context. It runs for 61 minutes and was released in 2006.
