image: (c) M HKA
For the first time in more than twenty years, Lars von Trier presents a new work conceived for an exhibition context.
"Melancholia should be: two diamonds grown together hundreds of millions of years ago. It should unite the angular and the curved, the extremely hard and the extremely soft, a conception caught in a fraction of a second! …only slowly does the diamond disappear …only slowly is the skull crushed and the miracle of the explosion begun!"
- Lars von Trier
The diamond was cut by ANTWERP CUT – Mike Akiki.
The VR was produced by IP OGAREV Head of Digital Anastasiya Tarasova.
