Cazzate Su Cazzate (Bullshit On Bullshit) was a solo exhibition and publication by Glasgow-based artist Scott Caruth. It responded to markings found in the archives of the Italian Communist Party in Modena, Northern Italy.

Doodles, sketches and defacements made upon meeting minutes, bills and internal correspondence by a party member will serve as the basis for an investigation of surface and authorship. The project was conceived as part of a residency between Fondazione Fotografia in Modena and the Stills Gallery in Edinburgh.

Caruth explored the archives of the Fondazione Fotografia, which contain over half a million photographic objects.
