Wim Wenders views getting lost as an enriching experience that enables true self-discovery. As he approaches 80, a major retrospective exhibition in Bonn highlights his extensive artistic contributions, including films, photography, and writing. Wenders was born in post-war Dusseldorf, where the devastating landscape fueled his desire to explore the world beyond. His career began in the 1970s, making significant contributions to New German Cinema. His films often embody themes of movement and emotional exploration, which mirror his own lifelong journey of discovery through travel and creativity.
When you're lost, you really abandon yourself and you are there. This profound sense of being can allow for deeper emotional experiences through film.
Movement for me was never just about distance; it was about discovery. Growing up in a city in ruins ignited my life's pursuit for knowledge and exploration.
The world was better. I always wanted to know everything about it. Exploring distant places sparked my artistic drive and shaped my creative endeavors.
As a filmmaker, I invite audiences to lose themselves in my films that drift through unfamiliar landscapes and quiet emotional spaces.
