Programme Notes
The third of four films from the ICO Artists’ Cinema 2016 series, this short is described as “a supercharged history of sculptor Constantin Brancusi’s infamous Princess X, a futuristic bronze phallus that is actually a bust portrait of Napoleon’s equally infamous great grand niece, Marie Bonaparte”.
