Zwischen Wahnsinn und Kunst - Die Sammlung Prinzhorn (2007)

The world's most important collection of pictures, sculptures and texts from psychiatric clinics, the Heidelberg Collection Prinzhorn, has opened up its archives and magazines to the director Christian Beetz and granted an insight into peculiarly iridescent art worlds. Fascinating as well as disturbing works have come to light, creations of undisguised directness and power - created about a hundred years ago behind high prison walls and barred windows and doors under circumstances that are hardly imaginable today.
