Four Sculptures in Fifteen Pieces

Four Sculptures in Fifteen Pieces looks at the themes of creation and destruction. The film highlights the preserving role of museums and elevates it to be part of the content and narration. In the film we see fragments of classical marble sculptures depicting human figures and a professional art conservator operating the sculptures in the staged space of a film. The sculptures seen in the film are excavated fragments from the ruins of an Art Museum of Estonia destroyed during the bombing of Tallinn in the spring of 1944. The fifteen pieces are originally from four different classical marble sculptures sculpted by Amandus Adamson (1855-1929) and August Weizenberg (1837-1921).
