On November 12th, the artist will present a selection of his interviews in Darmstadt and talk about the encounters behind the camera.
Rainer Lind will present and discuss a selection of his video portraits on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the Epes Gallery, Mainzer Landstraße 79, in Darmstadt. The event is part of the exhibition "In the Puddles of Erosion".
Video portraits as historical documents
Since 2009, alongside his work as a painter, Lind has been conducting in-depth interviews with people of different generations and professions. This has resulted in hundreds of video portraits. People from the arts, music, and architecture, as well as from agriculture, the judiciary, and politics, share their stories. They talk about their daily lives, their work, and what motivates them.
During the screening, Lind also talks about his experiences during the interviews and filming. He has published many of the interviews on his website and other online platforms.
