Mark Lombardi: Death Defying Acts of Art and Conspiracy

This film presents the fascinating life and work of the late Mark Lombardi, an artist who translated information surrounding complex contemporary power structures into intricate, map-like drawings. Lombardi created works from an enormous archive of collected information that revealed disturbing facts about various economic and political affairs, conspiracies and crimes. His work entitled BCCI-ICIC & FAB, 1972-91 was examined by the FBI at the Whitney Museum in New York following the attacks of 9/11, as it relayed information about the US banking system’s connection to global terror networks.
