- A portrait of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, whose lavish, sexual paintings came to symbolize the art nouveau style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
- Experimental documentary about Georgette Klein (1893-1963), Swiss artist and doctor of German philology originating from Winterthur and her self-designed house, the Casa Sciaredo, the first known private modernist building in Ticino, which she set up together with her husband in 1932. The film aims to cast light on the life and the ambivalent personality of Georgette Klein and to build a bridge to the present and the conditions with which women artists are confronted in pursuing their work. It is a poetic approach through the reconstruction of her house as a model and the adaptation of her numerous diaries, notes and letters. The house built by Georgette and her husband Luigi Tentori according to Georgette's plans is preserved in its original form and still captivates with its objectivity. The Casa Sciaredo is located high above the Lake Lugano, and is considered the first modernist residential building in Ticino. After her death in 1963, the house was to become a residence for artists at Georgette's request, but it remained unoccupied until the 1990s. It was only after the Sciaredo Foundation (Swiss Werkbund SWB, Visarte and the Sciaredo Association) was founded in 1996 that the house was restored, first in 1999 by Lukas Meyer and Ira Piattini, and again in 2016 by the Lugano architect Jachen Könz in close collaboration with the Cantonal monument preservation office. The film examines the constant intertwining of reality and projection: Georgette's lifelong longing. By means of a multi-layered narrative structure of newly assembled material from Georgette's estate, which is archived at AARDT Lugano and includes records (diaries, letters, notes in books she read) and documentary material (plans, sketches, photographs), the aim is to create an image of this woman that may give a sense of the ambivalence of her personality.
