Photographs

Streaming video - 1983

This experimental film, set to music by Bach, illustrates quotations from the works of Karl Marx with PHOTOGRAPHS of proletarian daily life from the mid-1800s to the present. Peter Voigt and photographer Arno Fischer worked on the four double-stelae of Berlin’s Marx-Engels Forum project from 1977 to 1982. For the stelae they were planning, they researched PHOTOGRAPHS in Amsterdam, New York, Washington, London and Moscow. This film is a direct result of the intensive work Voigt did to select the nearly 150 PHOTOGRAPHS used for the monument.
