Sydney Vermont, Ludwig | 2010 | 12min | DV | Canada
Ludwig is part video monologue, and sometimes installation, based on the life of Ludwig II, King of Bavaria. Through encounters with Ludwig in Eric Santner’s book On Creaturely Life, W. G Sebald’s novel Vertigo and Luchino Visconti’s film Ludwig, Vermont attempts to channel the real Ludwig.
