Vienna: City of Dreams

Joseph Koerner explores the art, architecture and music of fin de siecle Vienna, as he attempts to unlock the city's psyche for clues as to why it gave birth to modernism.

Joseph Koerner explores the art, architecture and music of fin de siecle Vienna. Using one of Vienna's most famous sons, Sigmund Freud, as a key, Koerner attempts to unlock Vienna's psyche for clues as to why this unlikely city gave birth to modernism. Home to Klimt, Schoenberg and Hitler, he portrays an artistic and intellectual melting pot; a place where many of the great dreams, and nightmares, of the modern era were first imagined.
