The Bode-Museum, your refuge: Tobias Kunz – St. Crispin

Film

Seven of the Bode Museum's curators and restorers present their favourite objects and talk about difficulties they have experienced in their own lives. They explain how a work of art can help to overcome small and big crises; even those that seem insumortable.

A shoemaker who is utterly absorbed in his work. This craftsman reminds the art historian Tobias Kunz of how many academics today are without a permanent job, working on temporary contracts without knowing where their next position will be. In Berlin, in Cologne, in Munich? Hardly any of their jobs lasts longer than two years! And Tobias Kunz ponders how satisfying a working life must be where you don't have to worry about the future of your family. Like Crispin, the shoemaker.
