This volume is one of three companion catalogues to an exhibition taking place simultaneously at three venues in Rome on the large-scale projects of Pier Paolo Pasolini. They explore a theme dear to Pasolini - sacredness - with a multidisciplinary approach that will shed a light on his main characteristics as a poet, writer, director, and artist and on the cultural influence he wielded. This is the catalogue for the show at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, which is devoted to face, voice, costume, Pasolini's relationship with women, and mockery. Text in English and Italian.
