The installation The Death of the Pope presents the series of prints that the members of the Cooperative made after this very special moment they lived together.
After having drawn together their daily and working life in their first workshop, the members of the Cooperative engraved on paper the images suggested by their visit to Benedict XVI in the Vatican The film The Day We Went to See Him Dead displays the visit to the Vatican step by step. The film and drawings are part of one installation, but they also exist as separate works.
