MY ART IN LIFE: THE GOOGLE EISENSTEIN PROJECT
“The slogan ‘Me too’ is the basic formulae of my activity in the field of art. This sort of ‘malice’ forced me to learn how to make passable architectural sketches, shoot films, stage theatrical productions, learn to write articles, ceaselessly be inventing some significant thing or other, without fail to ‘discover’ something in the field of artistic method, etc. etc. The objects of my jealousy are completely unexpected.” (Sergei Eisenstein)
The Eisenstein Project has been developed for the Google Cultural Institute by its curators Oksana Bulgakowa and Dietmar Hochmuth.
Oksana Bulgakowa is a Professor of Film Studies at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz; she authored and edited numerous books on Russian and Soviet cinema.
Dietmar Hochmuth is a filmmaker. In the 1990s, he founded PotemkinPress that publishes mostly theoretical works of Sergei Eisenstein and books about him.
