Ralf Östereich by 3RDV is a documentary exploring the life and work of a Berlin artist whose drawings, created between 1982 and 1993, have been rediscovered after decades of obscurity.

Emerging from the fractured cultural landscape of West Berlin, Östereich’s work reflects the energy of the city’s post-punk and experimental art scenes. His presence within environments such as Berlin Atonal, Fisch Büro, and the early years of Tresor positioned him within a network of artists shaping a new visual and sonic language.

The film documents his practice, his perspective, and his experience of a city in constant transformation. Quiet and deliberate in his approach, Östereich’s work captures fragments of a moment that continues to resonate.

This archive forms the basis of 3RDV, where his drawings are reinterpreted into garments, extending their life into a contemporary context.
