This large-scale edition takes its title from Sarah Morris’s seventh film 1972, an intimate portrait of Dr. Georg Sieber, the head psychologist of the Munich police and the Olympic security team at the time of the 1972 attack. Just like in her later Beijing series, the interlocking circles symbolize the iconic Olympic rings.
The work is part of the collection of the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin.
