'Motion Study, After Leni Riefenstahl' deals with the Nazi regime's orientation towards the high-classical, Greek sculpture for propaganda purposes, focusing on the work of German film director and photographer Leni Riefenstahl (1902–2003). The three-part installation unfolds in three layers, based on the ancient sculpture Discus Thrower by Myron and its photographic reproduction by Riefenstahl, created in 1936 for her work Beauty of the Olympic Battle.
