Originally a video installation exhibition with all 13 sections playing simultaneously on repeat at 13 different screens. The original exhibition took place in ACMI, the Australian Centre of the Moving Image, in Melbourne, the hometown of Cate Blanchett. The centre also serves as the resident for Blanchett's first Academy Award, as she donated the award to the museum for exhibition.
In the Pop Art Manifesto scene, featuring the conservative mother and family seated at the dinner table, the roles of the husband and children were played by Cate Blanchett's real-life husband and children.
The film was shot over 12 days in December 2014 in locations in and around Berlin.
