The Browning of Britannia

A new BFI Southbank commission by British artist Faisal Abdu'Allah tells the extraordinary life of Ago Piero Ajano. Presented as a video installation, it is the result of three years of research into the fascinating and mysterious life events of this man. Ago Piero Ajano's life in many ways exemplified Abdu Allah's concerns with ideas of truth and fiction, present in his previous work, with his aim to challenge authority.

‘The Browning of Britannia’ is on at the BFI until 18 May 2008.
