Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 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.
