Byung‐Chul Han in Seoul/Berlin
Isabella Gresser

Directed by Isabella Gresser, this documentary about the life and philosophy of Han Byung-Chul explores the phenomenon of burnout in a capitalist society.

The visual artist weaves together cinematographic, photographic and drawn observations she made between South Korea and Berlin, with spoken texts and excerpts from lectures by South Korean philosopher Han Byung-Chul. In the same film, the director brings up reflections by other thinkers such as Foucault, Deleuze, Hegel, Peter Handke, and filmmakers Wim Wenders and Park Chan-wook.
