CPS 54th Venice Biennale Project – Beirut Talk Trailer
‘The ownership and the status of Lebanese history’ is a performative theoretical research project consisting of three public performances – In Beirut, Messina and Venice
The research performances will form the theoretical base for the 52 min investigative video documentary about the research process and restitution attempt of artworks and artifacts whose stay in Lebanon draws a blank in their provenance description. Artworks such as Guercino’s ‘Samson Captured by the Philistines’, presently part of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, for instance.

TVE Metropolis – Manifesta 8: AGM 10 feat. Comrade Alfredo Neri (excerpt)
(Spanish below)
Special Metropolis TV format from TVE Spain about Manifesta 8 / CPS Chamber of Public Secrets / AGM 10 feat. Comrade Alfredo Neri (2006).
A ‘performative documentary’ about Alfredo Neri, the spokesman of the Italian neo-nazi movement Skinheads. The work was presented in Manifesta 8 by AGM 10 which selected a number of archive pieces from CPS archive.
A powerful analysis of the media construction, representation and mediation of facts, identities and historical narratives through the documentary language.
