Artist and Director Philipp Humm and his team will give insights into the creation of arthouse feature film The Last Faust. A screening of the film will feature alongside Humm’s current exhibition of large scale photographs and ancillary artworks on show every day at 4pm until Saturday 24 October.
About
Humm’s body of work has reinvented and re-imagined Goethe's Faust intellectual relevance for the 21st century, touching on classic and extremely modern issues of corruption, love and power, through to contemporary references such as Harvey Weinstein and Silicon Valley.
The Last Faust, co-directed by Dominik Wieschermann,was released in late 2019 and stars Steven Berkoffas Dr. Goodfellow, the film’s narrator and Faust's successor, Martin Hancockas Dr. Faust and Glyn Dilley who takes on the role of Mephisto. The film was the first step in the creation of an entire body of work of film, painting, photography and sculpture – each ingredient an artwork in its own right and the body of work presenting an extraordinary, ambitious and visionary achievement.
Director and artist Philipp Humm as well as actors from the film will be on hand to discuss the project and answer questions. The talk will start at 7.30pm.
