One of the world′s largest collection of artwork by schizophrenic patients: The collection of Prinzhorn revolutionized the bigoted viewpoint in psychiatry as well as the art world of the 1920´s. Artists such as Paul Klee, Alfred Kubin and Max Ernst were highly inspired by the so-called “insane art”. Later, these modern artists were found together with parts of the collection of Prinzhorn in the “Degenerate Art” exhibition by the Nazis. The film follows the history of the Prinzhorn collection illustrating the inner conflicts of the schizophrenic patients through their artwork.
