VITA ALL'INCONTRARIO DI MIMMO PESCE

MIMMO PESCE'S BACKWARDS LIFE

Country: Italy
Year: 1994
Duration: 60'


After The Ashes of Pasolini, Pasquale Misuraca continues his very personal series of audiovisual portraits and selfportraits of contemporary artists. Mimmo Pesce's life is one lived backwards, out of tune not only with mass conformism but also with mass anti-conformism. Pesce is a manyfaceted man. He is a sculptor, painter, and actor (as in Misuraca's Angelus Novus). He is highly aware both of great political and social changes and of the litt/e stories of individuals lost in a world that tears them to pieces. Misuraca enjoyed himself "cutting out" pieces of the life and works of his friend and editing them backwards in chronological and ironic counterpoint.
