A Game of War: Kambalu v Sanguinetti Trial at Ostend, 2021

Creative play is integral to Samson Kambalu’s artistic practice, a theme seen across the artist's exhibition at Modern Art Oxford. (22 May - 5 September 2021). These ideas were also central to the French avant-garde group the Situationist International (1957-1972). In 2014 Samson Kambalu came across the archive of Italian Situationist Gianfranco Sanguinetti, which the political writer had sold to Yale University, in stark contraction to his anti-commodity views that advocated for the free circulation of the gift economy. Employing the Situationist tactic of Détournement – the creative appropriation or hijacking of everyday life – Kambalu opportunistically photographed the entire archive over a period of four months. Kambalu then reproduced and exhibited the detourned archive at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 – returning the archive to Italy as a “gift to Sanguinetti”. The detourned archive is displayed here as a bound volume titled Sanguinetti Thesis, with extracts graffitied onto the walls. In an ironic twist, Sanguinetti sued Kambalu and the Venice Biennale for copyright infringement. In this film, lawyers and experts consider the legal intricacies of intellectual property and copyright in the context of the Sanguinetti vs Kambalu trial while Kambalu advocates for the freedom of ideas and playful exchange through the gift economy.
