Her work reflects on the relations between history and contemporaneity, on her life as a Jewish woman in postwar Austria and Europe, and on travelling and migration as modes of staying alive - literally as well as artistically. Beckermann's films speak about identity conflicts and the class struggle, about her family history in the Habsburg monarchy (\u003ci\u003eThe Paper Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e) and the war generation as it confronts the crimes of the Werhrmacht (\u003ci\u003eEast of War\u003c\/i\u003e). Most recently, she has turned her sights towards the deep love affair between two poets, Paul Celan und Ingeborg Bachmann, in 1950s Vienna (\u003ci\u003eThe Dreamed Ones\u003c\/i\u003e). This is the first book about Ruth Beckermann's multifaceted oeuvre, with original essays by critics and literary writers, rare illustrations and documents, and an in-depth conversation with the artist. Also included are Beckermann's reflections on her current project, \u003ci\u003e The Case of Kurt Waldheim\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexander Horwath is the director of the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna, the former director of the Vienna International Film Festival, and the film curator of documenta 12 (2007).
