Description
Il volume è il catalogo della mostra di Francesco Vezzoli tenuta nell'ambito della 52a Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Biennale di Venezia. Per la mostra, l'artista ha realizzato la nuova video installazione Democrazy. "Prendendo spunto dalle imminenti elezioni presidenziali americane del 2008 spiega l'artista - il progetto si articola nella produzione di una vera e propria campagna elettorale, proponendo al pubblico della Biennale di Venezia uno scontro tra due ipotetici candidati a una delle cariche politiche più importanti a livello internazionale. Due spot elettorali, prodotti in collaborazione con due team di "media advisor", professionisti della politica americana, capitanati da una parte da Mark McKinnon (primo consigliere della campagna elettorale di Gorge W. Bush nel 2004) e dall'altra da Bill Knapp (portavoce di Bill Clinton nella corsa alla Casa Bianca del 1996), contrapporranno due identità, due differenti "visioni" politiche ed umane, evidenziando le fatali strategie della comunicazione elettorale e sollevando interrogativi su come la fama, il potere dei media e la manipolazione della verità possano stravolgere il significato di 'democrazia' ".
