Amalia Ulman’s Sordid Scandal exists both as a video work and as a live performance that mixes fiction, a confessional style, academic or scientific language and historical anecdotes. Structured as a powerpoint presentation, in which Ulman narrates the process of shooting her film El Planeta, the video grasps the repercussions of the fictional on the real. Its script weaves, in a comedic style, dark personal memories with the technicalities of filming in a small town, restraining grants systems, globalist deceptions and the story of a criminal mother-daughter duo from Gijón.

在后危机时期的西班牙的毁灭中，母女俩靠虚张声势和欺诈来维持他们认为应该拥有的生活方式，通过共同的悲剧和即将到来的驱逐事件建立联系。
