"Pezzo Unico" - Franz Paludetto Gallery - Roma




Il terzo appuntamento romano della rassegna PIÈCE UNIQUE propone tre artiste con altrettanti dittici di auto-rappresentazione. In ogni coppia di frame è condensato il racconto di un peculiare eterno femminino, dove l’io narrante si identifica con l’io narrato, o ne veste i panni, per rivelare un qualche sé all’apparecchio fotografico.

I due lavori di Elina Brotherus, sequenze della stessa scena, datano al periodo in cui l’artista - prima di spostare l’attenzione sul rapporto tra figura umana e paesaggio - lavorava con scarno stile documentaristico sull’esperienza relazionale soggettiva e sulla
presenza/assenza dell’amore. La stringente referenza autobiografica plasma un’onesta allegoria, quasi in cerca di un antidoto figurato a un dato turbamento esistenziale.

Il passo successivo è quello verso cui muove Daniela Perego. Nell’immergere se stessa nelle tensioni della metropoli contemporanea, l’artista si fa unità di misura emozionale dello spazio e crea un’esperienza condivisa, tramite la propria ambivalente figura di
soggetto/spettatore posto di spalle. Aleggia un senso di incomunicabilità, di vulnerabile e sospesa estraneità.

Quando Giulia Caira esce dal set casalingo dei primi lavori, è invece per rappresentare contrasti sociali o familiari, come l’esplosione di malessere in uno studio di psicoterapia sistemico-relazionale, dove la paziente è concepita come portavoce del disagio diffuso nel
suo sistema di rapporti. L’artista stessa inscena i momenti di quest’ardente nevrosi, in uno scenario di coazione claustrofobica esacerbata, nella percezione, dall’aperta dichiarazione
d’immanenza distaccata dell’osservatore.

Che il teatro sia privato o pubblico, la casa oppure la strada, questi double self risolvono la storica dicotomia fotografica in favore dello ‘specchio’ di sé, contrapposto alla prerogativa di ‘finestra’ sul mondo: l’autoscatto coglie un tessuto emotivo, è manifestazione di temperamento personale e rimando a significati universali.

Sono, questi, dialoghi in forma epidermica di monologo e - come abbozzi essenziali di storyboard - narrano senza fare cronaca.Privi di autocompiacimento e secondo diversi gradi di fervore, suggeriscono complessità e solitudini irrisolte, accostano e poi dissestano stereotipi.

All’osservatore, la possibilità di toccare e condividere palpitanti, caleidoscopiche intimità che sanno respirare la realtà per poi restituire una dimensione altra.

The Legend of Alberto Sordi - Rome's Eternal Son

′′They will always judge you, whether you behave well or if you behave badly. So screw it and live as you want but above all don't listen to anyone.′′  - Alberto Sordi By giving his fellow Italians something to laugh about during tumultuous times, he emerged as his generation’s King of Comedy. One of Italy’s best-loved personalities, Alberto Sordi played a pivotal role in Italian cinema from the end of World War II to the postwar economic boom of the 1950s. During those tumultuous years, he gave his countrymen a hearty laugh when they might have otherwise cried. Former Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi perhaps said it best: “Alberto Sordi interpreted the feelings of Italians, especially in their most difficult and tough moments.” Born in the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome in 1920, Sordi grew up in a creative household. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father, a professional musician for the Rome Opera House. A young Sordi joined the children’s choir o...

Federico Fellini: A Look into the Life and Career of an Icon

A Fellini family portrait  “The term became a common word to describe something on the surface you can say is bizarre or strange, but actually is really like a painter working on a film,” said Martin Scorsese when asked to define “Felliniesque,” an adjective inspired by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The oldest of three children, Federico Fellini was born in the seaside town of Rimini in 1920. His father was a traveling salesman, so his mother was left to do the bulk of raising the children. One can argue that Fellini was born for his destiny. “You could tell that even as a child, he was different and unique. He was very intelligent, well above average. He was always the one to organize things, direct the others, make up games. He could control the other kids with just a look, said Fellini’s sister, Maddalena, in an interview with journalist Gideon Bachmann.  Not only was Fellini directing the children, but he was also putting on shows and charging ...

Alessandro Gassmann: Born to Act

Alessandro Gassmannin his directorial debut "Razzabastarda" Alessandro Gassmann is the son of the iconic Italian actor/director Vittorio Gassman and French actress Juliette Mayniel. He was born in 1965 and grew up around cinema royalty.  He made his cinema debut in 1982 at the age of 17 in his father's autobiographical film, "Di padre in figlio." He went on to study his craft under his father's direction at the Theatre Workshop of Florence.  Vittorio Gassman was very active in theater and seemed just as comfortable on stage as he did in front of the camera. Known for his powerful interpretations of Dante's "Inferno" and "Paradiso," it is no surprise that he nurtured his son's acting aspirations on stage before he launched his career in television and film. One of Gassmann's strong qualities, which he undoubtedly inherited from his father is his incredible range and ease in going from genre to genre. He can play ...

The Extraordinary Career and Legacy of Dino De Laurentiis

Producer Dino De Laurentiis was one of the most prolific filmmakers ever, having produced or co-produced more than 600 films during a career that spanned seven decades. His legacy continues not only through the work of his children and grandchildren but also through a new generation of filmmakers in his Italian hometown. De Laurentiis was born in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius on Aug. 8, 1919, in the city of Torre Annunziata, located just minutes from the ruins of Pompeii. As a child, he worked at a local pasta factory owned and operated by his father. That experience had a profound effect on him, shaping a lifelong passion for food and an appreciation for business. At the age of 17, he decided to leave home for the big city. He arrived in Rome and enrolled in the prestigious film school, Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. After attending the school for about a year, he managed to produce one film in 1940, The Last Combat , before having to leave Rome temporarily for m...
