MARX d. Olaf Nicolai, 2020 – 24hr screening at ICA (21-22 SEP).

  • “The ICA joins 16 other institutions around the world for a special simultaneous screening of MARX, Olaf Nicolai’s audacious 24-hour film created from a single shot of a sole statue: a vast bronze bust of Karl Marx, installed 50 years ago in Nicolai’s hometown of Chemnitz (formerly Karl-Marx-Stadt). Shot in one take on the 2020 autumnal equinox, when day and night are equal lengths, and shown here on the same date, Marx transforms this iconic figure into a kind of unnatural landscape, subject to constant change beneath the evolving light of night and day.”
  • Timed entry: “A ticket for any timed entry grants you access to the entire film but reserving a ticket for a specific time will help us regulate the screenings. For overnight sessions, water and facilities will be provided.”
