“The film is made up primarily of her works: drawings and collages, photographs and sequences from her documentary films. Ella Bergmann’s diversity, her work with various media, can be found again on a formal level in the film. It brings together things that are often wrongly separated, namely the painter on the one hand and the documentary filmer on the other. This adds up to a lot of material in 30 minutes.” (Jutta Hercher) “Expression through image composition and shapes is always the key thing for me. […] This may take place during the course of the work – who can even say how or when somebody discovers things? – but it can also emerge earlier, as a thought.” (Ella Bergmann-Michel, Sprengel Museum Hannover, Inv. No. A 44.03b -01-)
