Friedrich Kunath’s film The End Is My Beginning, 2017, will be screened as part of the Berlin Gallery Weekend Festival. The screenings will take place on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September, at 6:30 pm on both days. 

The End is My Beginning, 2017, delves the viewer into the artist’s quintessentially beguiling and nostalgic world. The opening scene presents an older man walking alone along a railroad track, as tinkling music floats through the air. The man, it becomes clear, is an imagined form of alter ego, representing one of many possibilities. Drawing on themes of mortality and reinvention of the self, the film offers a contemplation on the composite fabrics of life, filled with all its wistfulness and whimsy.
