Joseph Beuys is dead, but his art still draws millions to the museums. What remains of his political utopias? Professor Hefinger's scientific curiosity roused by this question, he began some experiments aimed at translating the Beuysian philosophy Into real life. In three trials documented on tape, Beuys is exposed posthumously as an East German artist, a fish is x-rayed alive, holes are punched in Johannes Rau, and the pictures are explained to the dead hare.
