Description:
Shortly after the Russian revolution, Tatlin, a Soviet sculptor, proposed a Monument for the Third International, a wildly twisted steel structure designed to stand taller than the Eiffel Tower. Although the tower was never built, Tatlin’s final dream was to violently insert it into St. Petersburg, Russia’s classical capital. This film is an attempt to visualize its extraordinary form, scale, and materiality in the live urban context of the city.
