A giant story board of stencil drawings ‘ragazze e ragazzi romani’ celebrate flatness of frescoes, blackness of analogue film & badly restored fake patches. A discourse between a Porte Portese tea towel and the handkerchief of Saint Veronica. Fragments of Etruscan porn dance with pixelated vespas & the maid from Teorema; a bit of flayed peeling and patching in a passata of Pasolini and Pucci.
Characters from Italian film recast themselves and invite you to a Felliniesque dinner party.
In ‘angelo del fango’ a waitress from a parallel world calls to the morally bankrupt paparazzo in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita.
