The screening will be followed by a conversation and audience Q&A with artist Norman Mine & Matthew McLean  (writer and editor of Frieze Week Magazine).

Norman Mine is the artistic identity of Francesco Benenato, a London-based Italian artist whose practice navigates the tension between the directorial observer and the performative presence. Working through constructed personas, most notably Norman Mine and the performer Dino Desica, his work functions as a serious conceptual inquiry into how personal narrative, artistic labour, and public spectacle intersect. His practice draws heavily from the raw observational style of Italian Neorealism and the vulnerabilities of autobiographical fiction, using tragicomic narrative structures to examine identity formation, institutional ideology, and the psychological architecture behind visibility and belonging. Blending staged performance with a non-hierarchical, socially engaged methodology, his wider practice navigates collective imagination, vulnerability, and social performance

Matthew McLean is a London-based writer and editor of Frieze Week Magazine.  His work focuses on contemporary performance, moving image, and the relationship between personal narratives and wider social and political histories.
