ABSTRACT
Hospitality is an experimental narrative about the so-called origins of a political subject. It is scripted by a series of conversations that occurred in Milan, Italy, during the summer of 2005. In form this video refers to a basic scenario of identity and representation: Who is speaking, and for whom? Our claims throw into relief a turning point, which designates a ‘before’ and ‘after’ to the story.
