The exhibition 50 Jahre / Years documenta 1955 – 2005 concentrates on the fragility of art history, reconsidered from today’s perspective. By essentially leaving the archival material and the artworks without further interpretations and comments, the visitors are in a position to compare and remember independently and to experience atmospheric insights. In order to present a wide range of vision, the exhibition is structured into five interacting and complementary chapters: an archival, an art historical, a site-specific, a cinematic and a scientific chapter.
