DEEDS CALENDAR: Pier Paolo Pasolini: Porcili – n.b.k.
The exhibition Pier Paolo Pasolini. Porcili from 11 September 2024 at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) explores the “corpo” (body) of Pasolini through a rich array of original materials, including photographs, films, newspapers, books, and film costumes. It traces his work and ideas, highlighting the visionary life and career of the director, poet, and thinker. Known for his radical views and rebellion against social conventions, Pasolini often sparked controversy in Italian society from the 1950s to the 1970s. His affiliation with the Communist Party and his open homosexuality made him a provocative figure. He faced public ridicule and legal troubles, and was murdered in 1975 under unclear circumstances. The exhibition at n.b.k. chronicles these events, shedding light on the harsh persecution Pasolini endured. It documents the systematic discrimination faced by a dissident who celebrated the body as a site of self-determination amidst a backdrop of courtrooms, street attacks, censorship, and ridicule.
