All together in large illustrated card board portfolio with a pasted in CD (inside front cover) entitled Architorti, a music study for Eisenstein in Guanajuato by Peter Greenaway. One of 92 numbered copies. 'The Russian Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein, arguably the worlds greatest cinema practitioner traveled to Mexico in 1931 to make a film called "Que viva Mexico!". He was fascinated by the Museum of the Dead in the Mexican silver-mining town of Guanajuato, which like the whole of Mexico celebrates an intimate and fearless association with Death, one of the two unavoidable and non-negotiable characteristics of everyones life on this planet of seven billion people in that inevitable connection of Eros and Thanatos, sex and death. Eisenstein was excited by the marriage of Aztec and Spanish cultures in Mexico and to imagine what might be happening in Eisensteins head after his visit to the Guanajuato Museum of the Death, Peter Greenaway has made ninety-two drawings in pen and ink on paper to encapsulate a possible Eisenstein fascination in the matter, feeling that it might be yet another way to compliment the film EISENSTEIN IN GUANAJUATO premiered at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival before being seen around the world. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
