"Self poisoned? No, poisoned!!! To Evgenij Kozlov" (1990)

At the beginning of 1991, when (E-E) Evgenij Kozlov spent several weeks in Germany, he gave Vladislav Mamyshev the keys to his studio “Russkoee Polee”. Vladislav Mamyshev was happy with this generous proposition and invited film director Andrius Venclova to film the video clip "Смерть Монро / The Death of Monroe" in two of the rooms of the studio. Kozlov's paintings "The Energy and Strength of Men", "I Love You-You" and "The Great Le-yeh-nin" were also used for the setting. In the video we see Vladislav Mamshev-Monroe passionately singing "Happy birthday Mr. President" to a friend who wears a J.F. Kennedy mask. Always looking for the best props, Mamyshev created Monroe’s death scene lying on top of rolled-up canvases from Evgenij Kozlov's collection "2x3m".
more about the collection >>

The plot of the video is a "living picture" or live-enactment of a painting by Vladislav Mamyshev from 1990, also from the collection "2x3m": "Отравилась? Нет, затравили! Евгению Козлову" / "Self poisoned? No, poisoned!!! To Evgenij Kozlov" more >>. It can be seen hanging on the wall just before the camera pans to the death scene.
