The artists unveil scenes that were removed from publicly viewed cinema in Italy during the 1950’s and 1960’s, and that have been, until now, kept hidden from sight in the Italian National Cinema Archive. With scenes from films such as Brink of Life by Ingmar Bergman and La Notte by Michelangelo Antonioni, Radha May enacts a collective reading of the official justifications that motivated the acts of censorship.
Radha May is Elisa Giardina Papa, Bathsheba Okwenje and Nupur Mathur.
