“Archive of the Future” looks behind the scenes of museums
The Natural History Museum in Vienna collects, researches, archives and contemplates with great intensity – more than 30 million objects have been collected here over the centuries for revisiting again and again.
Independent artist, filmmaker and photographer Jörg Berger’s “Archive of the Future” takes a look behind the scenes of a traditional museum, away from the familiar showcases, and shows a microcosm of institutional research that addresses today’s social challenges. A cinematic tribute to the importance of science and an insightful meditation on life on Earth – and beyond.
The Archive of the Future shows the museum as a world in constant change: the amazing archives of thousands of years of nature and human history are constantly being interrogated in the present by fundamental research and the living apparatus of the museum to create stories for the future. The future to tell.
