The Memory Atlas

2019-10-25

Between 1922 and 1924, the art historian Aby Warburg spent more than two years in the Bellevue Psychiatric Asylum in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. In 2018 a filmmaker finds the real diaries and the medical reports of that experience. Trough a surrealistic journey in Warburg's mind, The Memory Atlas questions the limits between madness and greatness in the process of creation.
