Descripction:

These three videos are part of the Essays on a Tribunal project.
They can be and are presented in many different ways. With total autonomy from the other pieces or interventions of the project.

ESSAYS ON A TRIBUNAL. The power of political economy on trial proposes an experimental exercise that addresses both the curious naturalized perception of existing economic-political norms, and the conceptual architecture of an oral tribunal.

It interrogates the current universal norms of living under a unique and exclusive economic-financial system, at the same time as it does on the ethical perspective of what is fair or unfair.

The project includes videos and space-time interventions.
