While working on "Deutschlandbilder" (1983), Hartmut Bitomsky was examining film material produced by the Nazi regime when he came across an abundance of footage documenting the planning and construction of motorways. In this found footage documentary he investigates what this material actually says: the motorway is stylized within it as a promise of progress and modernity, a "lifeline of the nation", less a straightforward piece of infrastructure than a prestige object, a work of art.
