This event has ended.
The United Nations is Decadent and Depraved is a collaborative project between the American filmmaker Mark Boswell and the Russian photographer Anton Koslov Mayr featuring photographs, artifacts, and a 20 minute film installation inspired by Hunter S. Thompson’s short story; “The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved.” The project was filmed during the 2008 Session of The United Nations in New York. Through creative measures, Boswell and Koslov Mayr obtained U.N. credentials, gaining access to General Assembly speeches, conferences, press room activities, and the building at large. The project attempts to draw a critical portrait of fleeting relevance for the only international body of law in the world.
