Tactical Frivolity + Rhythms of Resistance(2007)
Created in 2007 as a contribution to non-global movements, Tactical Frivolity + Rhythms of Resistance is part of the series Tra i sogni: Saggi sulla nuova immaginazione politica (Among Dreams: Essays on the new political imagination), created by Expósito in the 2000s to portray the expressive forms of social movements against neoliberalism. The video embodies a revolutionary character; it is disobedient and determined to challenge and desacralise all those protest actions that have been considered anarchist, both in the past and present. Through its documentary style, Tactical Frivolity + Rhythms of Resistance captures all those “frivolous” practices, all those micro-actions of social struggle that instill fear in those in positions of power. The work documents the protests of the British group Earth First! against the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Prague, in September 2000.
