interview with Alessandro Grimaldi


ended in these days of the exhibition at the Galleria Marconi Alessandro Grimaldi Anatomy of a Murder , which was inaugurated on January 14, 2007. "Anatomy of a Murder is a project in which they interact with their various artistic operations, from painting on canvas, photography, video, literature. The common denominator among the various courses of the exhibition is death. The starting point of the Snuff Movie is the first in history: the Kennedy murder filmed and broadcast live on TV around the world. Starting from the murder has proposed a road trip across America of the '60s with its myths, its symbols and its contradictions. "
This is the interview with Alessandro Grimaldi.

Anatomy of a Murder tells the American society of the early '60s, beginning with Kennedy's murder, as it has developed the project?
Initially I studied the Kennedy assassination, the Zapruder video and socio-political background of the period, because the topic interested me and I wanted to write a story. Soon, however, I realized that, by deepening the argument, came out of unexpected artistic influences which could lead to the conception of a more complex project (project of a murder) that encompasses both my story that a series of works inspired by Pop Art (a language that is very close to my way to work) through which to analyze the contemporary American sixties (the Cold War, the problem Cuba, Vietnam).

In the project have also involved Ivana Spinelli and Lucilius Santoni, what is their collaboration?
I thought to involve Ivana Spinelli asking her to put her "Pink - paw" in a re - interpretation of the Zapruder video, because I think it is a very important document and extremely significant for the project, while Lucilius Santoni I asked for a trial application on my literary work.

Have you defined the Kennedy video of the murder: "the first snuff movie in history", what is a snuff?
Actually the correct term to define the Kennedy murder video is real movie, which differs from the snuff to the fact that in the first event (death) would have happened anyway even without the accident and presence of the half while shooting in the second case, the event has been generated and is not occurred naturally.
The real movies, even if they contain scenes of violence and death, are not snuff: the occasional 'event creates the difference. The tourist who takes a road accident could not predict the event, but is limited only to film the events. Even the scenes of the Asian tsunami, to traffic accidents provided on Real TV, the videos are occasional, they are not planned or caused by the director. The snuff movies, however, are no videos in which the director, or his, causing the criminal event, the planning and shooting with the camera in all its facets. Victims may be unaware or aware it does not matter all that counts is the macabre effect that occurs. The term snuff, then, indicates those movies with a sexual (we can also say hardcore) in which the protagonists, mostly women, were tortured and killed.

Internet is becoming a real gold mine for those looking Snuff, these days is the video of the hanging of Saddam, what role had the network and the media in this your work? The
snuff movies (assuming they ever existed ... and I can assure you that the topic is complex pier) are distributed through channels "undergorund", usually by hand, on non-detectable, seen that this is evidence of murder (pre-market cameras, were shot on 8mm film, so as to pass unnoticed in the eyes of development laboratories and were available only in certain environments linked to organized crime). Internet and the dissemination of peer to peer systems (such as Emule, WinMX, etc..) Certainly provides a great spread of illegal material, but the existence of snuff is still to be demonstrated (for luck). Of course, if you try to type the keyword "snuff movies" on Google, you get to answer a list of 6,110,000 results well (196,000 if you click on the "Page in Italian), all buffaloes commercial bait and switch, networking for porn sites to attract a fee.

The use of snuff raises several ethical questions, what do you think is the importance of morality in art?
The snuff (in the strict sense of the word) is not art, but only a macabre product to a category of persons users (for the complexity of the reference to "Psychopathology of those users" or Mark Pingitore Maria Zurzolo).
could be "art" the controversial film "Snuff" (which took its name from gender) of 1974 of Michael and Roberta Findlay (of questionable taste) and the World Movie Movie Cannibal and emerged as a documentary (chilling), where, to use the same words Jacopetti, " g them events occur independently of the camera, which simply record .
To be honest I can not draw a dividing line beyond which the arts should not go (I think Cattelan and the dummy hanged three of her speech). What may be immoral for me to others may not, but if the border of the snuff is quite clear: torture and murder are not art!
