the museum of modern literature by david chipperfield is located in marbach, on a rock plateau overlooking the neckar river valley. displaying artefacts from the extensive twentieth-century collection from the archive for german literature, notably the original manuscripts of franz kafka’s ‘the trial’ and alfred döblin’s ‘berlin alexanderplatz’, the new museum also provides panoramic views across the landscape. the film by 9sekunden depicts both exterior and interior spaces of the museum, capturing the unique architectural language, the materiality, the textures, as well as the overall atmosphere that the popular building evokes.
