As early as December 2004, it was premiered for the very first time as a multimedia installation at the Instituto Superior de Arte under the auspices of the Havana Film Festival.
The world premiere as an experimental film took place in September 2005 at Expo 2005 in the prefecture of Aichi in Japan as an element of the official supporting cultural programme for the German pavilion.
As regards the 8 additional video-wall films from the bookshelf wall in “artwork”, these equally deal with a mimical portrait that interprets the music, two computer animations, two VJ productions and documentary footage of the painting performance, straight through to the musicians involved.
Following the German cinema premiere, a 15-city tour of movie theatres including live performances (18 August to 18 September 2006) ensued to accompany the film's release.
For the first time in television history, the synchronised parallel broadcast of a film feature occurred simultaneously in 4 variations on 4 TV stations on June 2, 2007 (3sat, theaterkanal, ZDFinfo and ZDFdokukanal).
