Werner Herzog: The Ecstatic Truth

18 June 2023 until 1 October 2023

Exhibition

This activity has ended.

Eye Filmmuseum presents an exhibition and extensive film programme around the work of celebrated filmmaker Werner Herzog. Herzog has fascinated audiences with unforgettable stories, images and characters in his unorthodox body of work for the last 50 years.

The Ecstatic Truth

Herzog's films offer insight into the relationship between humans and the chaotic world around them, and into nature's infinite indifference to human existence.

This exhibition features an insight into the way Herzog perceives the world. The ‘ecstatic truth’ - that is central to his work - reflects on Herzog’s fundamental quest, how he constructs and stylises images that expose this deeper level of truth: 'I’m modifying facts in such a degree that they resemble truth more than reality.'
