The Eye Swims on the Canale Grande

This book is intended as an accompanying volume to a - at least imagined - retrospective of a cinematic life's work. In the texts and unrealized scripts collected in this volume, director Eduard Schreiber embarks on a journey through time into the 20th and early 21st century. He reflects nothing less than our where from and where to, and how the individual can both assert himself and get lost in the course of time, to the point of rescue or destruction. Conversations with the documentarist complete the insight into the life of a critical artist.
