Veronika Eberhart: Garten sprengen

Zusatztext

Hanns Eisler was Arnold Schönbergs favourite pupil. He worked intensively with Bertolt Brecht and composed the GDRs national anthem. Veronika Eberharts artistic study focuses on the years 1938 to 1948, which the composer spent together with his wife Lou(ise) in exile in Los Angeles. Shortly after their arrival, the two became the focus of FBI investigations. They were bugged and followed. In 1947, Eisler was finally called before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and a year later he and his wife were deported from the USA. The book contains images from Eberharts latest film Garten sprengen (2022) and a series of new sculptural and photographic works that can be seen in her exhibition at the IKOB Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgium. Veronika Eberhart is an artist, filmmaker, and musician.
