Still from “M” (1931, dir. Fritz Lang), in which Peter Lorre, seen here in shadow, portrayed a pathological child-killer, a character supposedly based on real-life serial killer, Peter Kurten, who committed his crimes in 1920s Düsseldorf.
The entire film can be seen on Internet Archive here.
This movie is brilliant!
Binding the Lost Souls: Memory Loss, 1993
Chromogenic printb. 1962
Zheng Lianjie was born in 1962. He first gained international attention in 1993 for his performance “Binding the Lost Soul: Huge Explosion.” He and a motley group of performers, including students, villagers, and other artists, salvaged bricks from a crumbling portion of the Great Wall and tied red ribbons around them. The process, and the resultant hill of beribboned bricks, was both a celebration of the Great Wall and an elegy to it. In recent years Zheng Lianjie has continued to explore historical memory, human endurance, and personal identity through his physically intense and visually stunning performances. He also continues to practice ink painting, to which he adds his own element of dramatic energy.
