ALAYA - Moments of creation

A feature documentary about the austrian sculpturer Rudolf Hirt.

One stroke overwrites the other. Releases - creates space for new impressions, ideas, transformations. One moment replaces the other.
Everythings needs its time - a oeuvre the personal development of its creator. It constantly flows into, shapes and coins the work.
The oeuvre is completed, when all attachment is dissipated and the core is laid open.
But in the end it is not about the oeuvre as a result - it is about the process and the moments of creation.
