Synopsis
In 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city council in Dresden decided to remove its statue of Lenin, a symbol of the no longer existent Communist regime. The monument was taken down and given to a Swabian stonemason. In the summer of 2004, Rudolf Herz borrowed this enormous torso of Lenin and placed it, along with two other anonymous statues, on the back of a truck and drove them all over Europe. Each evening the truck would stop in a different city where artists, sociologists, cultural scientists, economists and common people on the streets were asked to give their views on Lenin in the twenty-first century: "l show Lenin to my contemporaries. And the 21st century to Lenin. Who will explain it to him?"
This remarkable tour was recorded by a film team and by photographers Reinhard Matz and Irena Wunsch. The resulting images, along with statements from a variety of witnesses form the basis of the Lenin on Tour project, which has taken shape as a documentary film, an exhibition, and now in the form of this book.

Oktober 2009 - 31. Januar 2010 - Nach dem Fall der Mauer stürzte die Dresdner Stadtregierung ihr Lenin-Denkmal und vermachte es einem schwäbischen Steinmetz. Rudolf Herz schloss im Sommer 2004 mit dem neuen Eigentümer einen Leihvertrag, stellte die monumentalen Torsi von Lenin und zwei anonymen Genossen auf einen Sattelzug und durchquerte vier Wochen lang Mitteleuropa. Abends machte das Gefährt Station vor einem Theater, einem Museum oder auf einem Stadtplatz, wo Künstler, Kulturforscher, Soziologen und Publizisten zu Ansprachen aufgefordert wurden: »Erklären Sie Lenin das 21. Jahrhundert!« - Begleitet wurde die Tour von einem Filmteam und den Fotografen Reinhard Matz und Irena Wunsch.
