Director Statement

5 years of work and research: the documentary Series C. G. Jung on Alchemy consists of 4 episodes, symbolizing the 4 classical elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water, and Jung's treatment of why the elemental system has been enhanced by the alchemical vision which was in core based on triads and triplets and then their reciprocal synergies again. One of C. G. Jung's ground breaking discoveries may be seen that the Trinity, including the God Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ is in some way incomplete. It lacks nature, it lacks Human. And alchemy offered this missing piece.
We invite the spectator to watch this documentary open minded with eyes and heart wide opened. It is mind blowing and will help you to understand the principles of alchemy from a completely new perspective.
Moreover, for bibliophils, we added all rare book sources into the film. If you want to research a certain rare book, just pause the film to take note of the title or the author of the work.
