This week, the Cinepub.ro premiere is the documentary about Ion Nicodim,
My Clay Heart – ion Nicodim / Inima mea de lut - Ion Nicodim, made by
Laurenţiu Damian. The director recomposes the image of the artist Ion Nicodim (1932-2007), starting from photos and footage from the family archive, using notes of the artist. The documentary is a lyrical film essay, spectacular at the visual level
which intends to emphasize the expressions, the states of mind, the thoughts and the chimeras present in Ion Nicodim`s works, both in the sculptures from the series “Hearts of clay” and in his mural compositions, in paintings and installations.
In Heart of Clay, the director turns the living and working space of Ion Nicodim into a meditation on the artist`s life and creation. The camera enters his home-studio, discover his works, the fundamental motifs, obsessions, chimeras, searches for him among thoughts and old family photos. The sweetest words come from the family: Ion Nicodim lived a full life, as he wanted. In a space where the architecture, painting and sculpture combine in order to define a unique way of artistic expression, the director brings forth its expressive equivalent: a poetic-cinematic excursion.
