The Human and the Hollow Frame

Artists from various disciplines discuss their own creative journeys and reflect on the broader evolution of artistic expression. What is the essential purpose of art? How do they view its role in a society flooded with information? Does it still hold the same importance? How does it coexist with rapid technological progress? What are the benefits and drawbacks of abandoning certain traditional, so-called „redundant“ aspects of the creative process? And what role do they see for the human element in the cultural landscape of the future?

This is an – open and ongoing – interview film project featuring musicians, painters, sculptors, actors, filmmakers, theater artists, but also philosophers innovators and futurists.

Over the years, I’ve gathered a wide range of perspectives from diverse artists, capturing their thoughts and visions on the direction of cultural progress. In an era where cultural identities and memories are at risk of being lost, the spectrum of possibilities remains vast – from decline to renewal, everything still seems within reach. In the future to come will we all be watching a hollow frame?

The film captures the voices of artists as they reflect on the purpose and relevance of art – and also explores the fragile relationship between creativity and technology, in an era of digital acceleration. The focus lies on the human essence in an ever more fragmented and mechanized world, where the boundary between the organic and the synthetic is gradually dissolving.

Through a series of fragmented, often poetic interviews and abstract, audiovisual collages, the film asks what remains of the human spirit when the traditional, tactile aspects of creation give way to algorithms and automated systems. It is a meditation on the search for meaning, the role of memory and identity in a world that often feels hollow and disconnected. The result is a time capsule of the creative process itself – a dialogue between presence and absence, form and void, in which the human voice struggles to find its place within the empty frames of modern culture.
