Palimpsests

3 photographic works, 83 cm x 73 cm (2024)

A series of photographic works that consist of stills from Salò – the notorious last film by Pier Paolo Pasolini – juxtaposed with photographs taken 50 years later. The location is now used as a shelter for refugees.
The film tells the story of 4 fascists who at the end of World War II decide to seclude themselves with adolescents for a four-week debacle of violence and sex. Since the shoot in 1975, the location Villa Aldini fell into disrepair, and has now become a place of contest, sparking aggression from rightwing groups for housing African refugees.
