MAILLARTS BRÜCKEN (Maillart's Bridges) Heinz Emigholz, D 2001, 24 min

This film explores 14 works of the swiss artist, civil engineer and legendary bridge builder Robert Maillart (1872-1940) designed between 1910 and 1935. Maillart revolutionized with his functional reduction of material the work of bridge building and created his own world of forms.

"What is constructed and build here dates about eighty years back. But the way Emigholz approaches the buildings, he lays bare current structures of thinking, totally untouched by the rules made up by the leading art media." (Die Tageszeitung)
