Both an artist's book and a retrospective, Diego Marcon brings together images, drawings, and other behind-the-scenes material that mark twenty years of the artist's film and animation practice.

Diego Marcon's practice primarily focuses on moving image and centers on the investigation of cinematic archetypes through a process that combines theoretical and structural approaches to filmmaking, with the sentimental attitudes of popular movie genres. His works--spanning film, video, and installation--often utilize a looped structure to articulate an emotional display that flirts with the pathetic aspects of popular entertainment and simultaneously draws attention to the media itself. Throughout Marcon's work, empathy and vulnerability are deployed with intentional ambiguity, such that the instrumental use of their forms and figures constitutes a blurred morality. This ambiguity is viewed by Marcon first and foremost as a political weapon of defiance.

This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Prom, presented at Lafayette Anticipations, Paris, from April 1 to July 19, 2026, and Krapfen at the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago from September 13 to November 23, 2025.
