The Outlets in Italy are presented as Renaissance style 'gated communities', equipped with all sorts of control, self defense and conservation devices: the deterrent and alienanting power wielded by the presence of ramparts, moats, guards and CCTV surveillance systems, seems to paradoxically fuel and at the same time lead to the formulation of hypothetical unauthorized offensive actions. A documentary-style, voice-off and internet found-footage material are the heart of the first Phase of a simulation - plausibly subversive - consisting of reconnaisance and observation actions leaded by an invisible and unidentified enemy [Valerio Borgonuovo].
"Eine Niederlage ist besser als gar keine, jeder hat sein Recht auf einen Krieg"
from Die Beispiellose Verteidigung der Festung Deutschkreutz, Werner Herzog [1966]
