Overview

After Lenin’s death, he becomes a “living statue,” preserved to appear unchanged while continuously reconstructed into an image that outlives him. As images multiply and decay, a paradox of preservation and representation emerges: the more Lenin’s figure is reproduced, the further it drifts from the life it once referenced.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative visual essay on how preservation paradoxically erases. As Lenin's preserved image is endlessly reproduced and reconstructed, the film traces an uncanny gap between the representation and the life it replaced.
