In conjunction with the exhibition ANTON VIDOKLE—IMMORTALITY FOR ALL: A FILM TRILOGY ON RUSSIAN COSMISM, the artist and e-flux editor will join Adam Khalil for a conversation.
Scored to music by John Cale and Éliane Radigue, the three parts of the trilogy—THIS IS COSMOS (2014), THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION WAS CAUSED BY THE SUN (2015), and IMMORTALITY AND RESURRECTION FOR ALL! (2017)—investigate Cosmism, a forgotten philosophy that combined Western Enlightenment, Eastern philosophy, Russian Orthodox traditions, and Marxism, before falling victim to Stalinist repression.
