Raoul Hausmann is one of the most innovative avant-garde artists of classical modernism. For him, art and life were inextricably linked. As a Dadaist, he was one of the inventors of collage; he also developed synesthetic devices, wrote experimental texts, explored the relationship between body, sound, and space in performative presentations, and, as a photographer, combined seeing with the haptic.

But not only artistically, but also in his search for new models of life and the world, he sought throughout his life to break with conventional norms and live against the grain. This multifaceted and groundbreaking body of work, which has influenced subsequent generations, is presented in a major retrospective at the Berlinische Galerie with around 200 works from national and international collections, against the backdrop of current discourses.
