I Am Not Legend is an animated film by Andrea Mastrovito made by printing in A4 size all the frames of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) and intervening on each sheet with white paint in order to erase the presence of zombies from the original film. The more than 100,000 plates obtained were digitized and reassembled following the new script created by the artist, who used thousands of quotes from a more than a hundred famous films, novels and songs. To complete the work, the new original soundtrack is created by Matthew Nolan and Stephen Shannon, with contributions for the opening and closing music by Maurizio Guarini, who, together with the Goblins, had previously created the original music for the films Profondo Rosso (1975), Suspiria (1977) and Dawn of the Living Dead (1978).
The film, which looks at the question of identity and our relationships with otherness and death, became part of Palazzo Fabroni's permanent collection with the artist's solo exhibition Io Non Sono Leggenda (2020/2021), as part of a Casa Testori project, curated by Davide Dall'Ombra and produced, in collaboration with the Museo del Novecento e del Contemporaneo at Palazzo Fabroni, thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture's General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity as part of the Italian Council program (6th edition, 2019).
