Ruediger Glatz's Photographs of Pasolini Performance at Palazzo delle Esposizioni
Ruediger Glatz (Heidelberg, 1957) captures the essence of absence in Pasolini's works through his photographic lens. His exhibition 'Reflecting Pasolini' at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome features stills from the performance 'Embodying Pasolini', which premiered at Mattatoio di Roma in June 2021. The performance, starring Tilda Swinton and Olivier Saillard, evoked Pasolini's iconic characters in contemporary costumes. Glatz's photographs emphasize chiaroscuro, guiding viewers through a corridor of gazes and faces into Pasolini's imaginary, explored in Rome's suburbs. The exhibition coincides with the centenary of Pasolini's birth.
