ALBERTO
DE MICHELE

 

FIVE STOLEN PAINTINGS
2011
- C-Prints of variable dimensions and video projection

Photos of stolen paintings and a video projection of a handwritten letter from a contact person of the thieves about the theft, which took place over 30 years ago at a Roman church. The paintings have been kept hidden in a farmer’s shed ever since. De Michele obtained the photos of the paintings by passing himself off as a prospective buyer.
