On 22 April, the exhibition VITA DULCIS. Fear and Desire in the roman empire was inaugurated at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. Open until 27 August, curated by Francesco Vezzoli and Stéphane Verger and designed by the artist Filippo Bisagni, the exhibitions also offers a play of light and shadow studied by the director of photography Luca Bigazzi.
A project that aims to create a new narrative, presenting works and finds of classical Roman art in an exhibition itinerary that combines references from classical and pop culture, presenting to the visitor the vital intensity and authentic passion that these finds can arouse. The works, immersed in a suggestive and unexpected scenographic setting, are placed in relation with some recent works by Vezzoli which incorporate elements of the ancient era and with the representation of Roman history provided through cinema during the twentieth century.
The coexistence of iconic classic works, unpublished exhibits, world cinema masterpieces and contemporaneity is evident right from the entrance to the exhibition, where visitors are greeted by six large luminous works from the 24Hours Museum project produced by Vezzoli in 2012 in collaboration with Prada. A preface to the exhibition itinerary, which introduces the visitor in an immersive journey into the Roman Empire, through the beauty and vitality of the treasures of the National Roman Museum.
Our team is proud of the set-up created, which offers a complex and stratified visit itinerary, in which distant aesthetic levels, different eras, cultured art and popular art come together.
