The program features footage amassed by Masao Adachi, an experimental director and former member of the Japanese Red Army militant communist organization who lived in Lebanon for years. , the “scientific advisory panel” assembled by Documenta’s shareholders and supervisory board called“highly problematic.
The panel recommended that “immediate action” be taken to remove Subversive Film’s program from view. But the curators did not capitulate. “Ruangrupa, as the artistic direction of Documenta 15 has the sole right to decide and does not wish to follow the recommendation to temporarily remove the workby Subversive Film from the exhibition,” a spokesperson for Documenta said in an email to Artnet News earlier this week..
