OVER YOUR CITIES GRASS WILL GROW
2010-10-18German artist Anselm Kiefer’s (whose worked featured in Exit Magazine volume two, number four) alchemical creative processes and renders as a film journey the personal universe he has built at his hill studio estate in the South of France.
Here creation and destruction are interdependent; the film enters into direct contact with the raw materials Kiefer employs to build his paintings and sculptures – lead, concrete, ash, acid, earth, glass and gold. Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow gives privileged access to Kiefer’s last days at La Ribotte prior to his move to Paris, where he now lives and works. Directed by Sophie Fiennes.
