The project Artists' statement Review by Axel Lapp Credits Stills Artists' info Download brochure		Capitulation Project is a 21-minutes 16 mm black-and-white film, the starting point for which is Commune, a performance by the Performance Group (New York) from 1971 that addressed the massacre of My Lai committed during the Vietnam War. Moser & Schwinger recreated the original scenery and wrote a new scene of their own, which is performed by a group of actors -casted by the artists in Berlin- and subsequently filmed. When presented in the gallery context, the stage constructed for the performance becomes the seating area for viewing the film, with the audience now seated in the physical space that the actors previously occupied.
