Documentary
»Petersburg places and paintings«
Director & producer Ben van Lieshout, 2004
In 2004, Dutch documentary director Ben van Lieshout made an extensive film portrait of Tatyana Yassievich and her work in St. Petersburg, Amsterdam and Berlin. The film follows her as she travels between the cities, between the past and future, in a ceaseless effort to register what remains of Soviet esthetics in the public space, before it disappears entirely. The film takes viewers into public spaces still pervaded by the history of the Soviet era. They combine with Yassievich’s personal memories to create a tangible experience of the drastic, ongoing changes set in motion by the recent collapse of the Soviet Union.
