Helke Bayrle has filmed the installations of exhibitions at Portikus since 1992. The website www.portikusunderconstruction.de makes Helke Bayrle’s entire archive available to the public. 

Helke Bayrle’s films go beyond the documentary. A playful and thought-provoking working process tha creates various short films from hours of material characterizes her practice. Her films are subjective, intimate observations of artists’ personalities and of the creative process of individual installations. It is the continuity of her practice and the openness of her approach that make Helke Bayrle’s films unique. In each one, she follows a different logic as demanded by the situation at hand.
