Rabih Mroué’s On Three Posters is a seventeen-minute, single-channel colour video with sound. Made in 2004, it originated from a multi-media performance called Three Posters, conceived and staged by Mroué and the Lebanese novelist Elias Khoury, and first performed in Beirut in 2000. Chad's fascinating and challenging piece examines the video, putting it into artistic, political and historical context. It includes interviews with the artist himself and the critic and theorist Boris Groys.
