Video-performance made by the Western Front Society of Vancouver, with Jeanette Reinhardt performing Ideologia e natura (inv. 3324) ‘for the camera’. In this version, the action is punctuated by the ticking of a metronome and a soundscape of Fascist songs and screams, partially overlaid by a female voice tirelessly repeating the phrase ‘I don’t want to be a Fascist’.
