Exhibition "The Three Little Pigs" by Albert Serra

Audiovisual production of the exhibition "The Three Little Pigs" by Albert Serra, a 101-hour work, at Fabra i Coats: Contemporary Arts Centre in Barcelona, curated by Joana Hurtado.

A device consisting of a triangular screen (which avoids frontality and hinders any unitary view, underlining the “impossibility” of viewing the whole) and also elevated (which suspends images, voices and the pigs, and makes the audience come in to land. They are truly responsible, from this present experience, for the reading of the past).

 

The film The Three Little Pigs is based on three books: Conversations with Goethe by Johann Peter Eckermann; The private conversations by Adolf Hitler; and Fassbinder by Fassbinder: The Complete Interviews. With this cinematic experiment, Serra explores the performativity of the medium, but also the fidelity to the autobiographical texts and the symbolic construction of the story.
