A tribute that is at the same time also a challenge, namely how to fix in the plastic form of a sculpture the expressive and emotional force of faces, which in Pasolini’s films represent the perfect fusion of art and cinema, or rather, the highest expression of cinematic art. In the four terracotta and gold busts freely inspired by The Flower of the Thousand and One Nights, we find the evocative impact of the faces of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s “actors”, people taken from the streets and given back to the streets as icons of the truest and deepest feelings in the human soul. A soul that grapples with the issues of contemporary society that are reflected in the silent scream of the two adult figures, a man and a woman (a self-portrait of the artist) and in the dreamy expression of the two adolescent figures. As is the prerogative of the young, they are open to the future and represent a symbol of hope and the ability to look forward – no matter what.
