Video artist Steve McQueen presents a video installation modeled after the end credits of a movie, inspired by the life of African American singer and social crusader Paul Robeson. Through out the piece, McQueen depicts every document from Robeson’s recently declassified (but heavily redacted) FBI files. The thousands of documents produce 13 hours of footage, which is accompanied by a 19-hour spoken-word soundtrack—you'll need to devote some time to this work if you want to see and hear all it has to offer.
