Pier Paolo Pasolini. Porcili
Pasolini's radical diversity and his rebellion against social conventions always caused offense within Italian society from the 1950s to the 1970s. He provoked people above all through his membership in the Communist Party and his openly lived homosexuality. He was subjected to public ridicule and even legal persecution. In 1975 he was murdered under circumstances that are not entirely clear.
The exhibition at the n.b.k. chronicles these events and shows the brutality of Pasolini's persecution. It documents the systematic discrimination of a dissident who sang the praises of the body of freedom between courtrooms, street attacks, censorship and ridicule.
A project in cooperation with the Fondazione Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia – Cineteca Nazionale, Rome, and the Babylon Kino, Berlin.
With the kind support of the German Academy Villa Massimo, Rome
