the abolition of work A re-elaboration of the homonymous anarchical pamphlet written by Bob Black in the optic of the formula “work force-repetition-death.” “Repetition in factories, repetition in war, repetition in the acts which lead to the little death. Intellectuals adore going to the movies to see films starring workers, whereas workers prefer images of successful men. Isn’t life itself a sort of death at work? Maybe no one should ever have to work anymore? Nature condemns man to production and to consume his life and leisure time. (…) This is a compilation film that was made by means of an experimental procedure which was used in the previous film La guardia nazionale e i cretini amari, or rather, procedures that use the so-called ‘anomalous brain waves’ (cognitive dissonance) are combined with more recent techniques of audiovisual research.”

canecapovolto canecapovolto
Canecapovolto is a group which was formed in Catania in 1992. In nonstop experimentation through acoustic film and music played on a modified keyboard, documentaries and film-essays, installations, happenings, and paper collages, Canecapovolto studies the expressive and political possibilities of listening and sight, and on the dynamics of perception. The group interweaves various methods of audio and video narration in order to investigate the scientific matrix of communication and, above all (most importantly), to free so-called spectators from their historical role. In 2016, they founded the Scuola FuoriNorma in Catania, in order to investigate experiential teaching which involves audio and visual devices.
