“FINGER WEG!” - Karl- Marx- Monument (2024)

synopsis: The giant Marx head - popularly known as the "Nischel" - is staged by Berlin-based video artist Vanessa Cardui. In her work "Finger weg!", an imaginary artist's hand gives the grim face a constantly changing facial expression. "It's about a dialog between the artist's hand and the face, the portrait," said Cardui about her work. The painting hand searches for a facial expression, whereby the face takes on a life of its own. (DieSachsen News 25.09.2024)
