In collaboration with Leo Xu, Arthub held a video screening for Francesco Vezzoli’s works Greed: A New Fragrance by Francesco Vezzoli (2009) and Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story! (2006).

Greed, replicates the strategy and aesthetics of a commercial perfume launch. The 60 second commercial advertisement was directed by Roman Polanski; starring Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams.

Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story! was commissioned for the Power Plant in Canada as a part of TIFF in 2006. The faux-documentary chronicles a mythologized version of Vezzoli’s failed attempts to improbably remake a 1984 Marlene Dietrich documentary entitled, simply, Marlene, in addition to reporting on the scandalous life and art career of Francesco Vezzoli.
