Last Movies
In 1986, CM von Hausswolff travelled to the depths of Iran to visit the ruins of Alamut castle, the famed residence of Persian emperor Hassan I-Sabbah, master of the Ismaili sect known as the ‘assassins’. Only on returning to Tehran did Hausswolff discover that the prime minister of Sweden, his home, had been assassinated leaving the cinema. The killer remains at large. When Hausswolff told Schtinter this story, he immediately asked: ‘But what had he just seen?’ This was fundamental to the birth of the Last Movies project.
Hausswolff will join Schtinter on this, the final installment of Last Movies at the ICA, with the two artists discussing occult Islam, the recording of ghosts, and trips to ‘nowhere’.
