Can I Own Myself?

1998 and 2022

150 years after the publication of the Communist Manifesto, this short film – a collaboration with FUEL, the photographer Juergen Teller and the model Kate Moss – explores the meaning of image and ownership with an original script by Robert that incorporates excerpts from the Manifesto. Premiered at the Lux Cinema in London, it was screened on Channel 4 and shown at many international festivals, including the Berlin Film Festival, the  BBC Short Film Festival, the Oberhausen Film Festival, and the Rotterdam Film Festival. Video stills from Can I Own Myself? were republished in Purple Magazine for the Balenciaga Summer 2022 catalogue.
