Pasolini Roma, Martin-Gropius-Bau, Until January 5
Those who missed the spring exhibition in Rome devoted to legendary Italian film director, poet, writer, thinker, artist, journalist and communist Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) can now see it in Berlin for the next two months. The exhibition focuses on Pasolini’s complex relationship with the Italian capital, which was not merely the city where Pasolini made his films, but the place where he lived out the full gamut of emotions, as if in an extravagant love story.
The exhibition is divided into six parts, starting with the day that Pasolini first arrived in Rome in 1950, and ending with his brutal murder in November of 1975, when his body was discovered on the beach at Ostia near the Italian capital (he had been run over several times with his own car). The circumstances surrounding his death remain a mystery, with some of his contemporaries going so far as to speculate that Pasolini might even have orchestrated his own murder. His films, for their part, have continued to inspire movie directors of subsequent generations.
