Dieter Schwerdtle is practically the 'house photographer' of Documenta in Kassel and photographed five consecutive editions (from Documenta 5 to Documenta 11). His photographs of Joseph Beuys are still very influential in shaping the public image of the artist, and were published in numerous books about his work.

"Honey Pump at the Workplace" (Honey pump at the workplace, 1977) is one of the best-known installations by the German artist Joseph Beuys. It is the ultimate visual realization of his concept of Social Sculpture (Sociale beeldhouwkunst).
