Marge Monko’s action video “Red Dawn”

Client: Artist Marge Monko
​Venue: Rooftop of a factory in Tallinn
Date: 10.04.2013

Fabrication, installation and deinstallation of the letters by VALGE KUUP

Marge Monko: “The video documents the action of restoring the letters on the rooftop of a hosiery factory in Tallinn. Punane koit ('Red Dawn', in English) was the name the factory carried during the Soviet time. Despite its inherent reference to Communism, the name also alludes to a less visible poetic – hope, dreams of a better future and new beginnings.”
