Soggettiva Gallery presents from 2 October (until 3 November) “Crazy About Cinema – Folie a Ciné”, tribute to the most famous “brothels” in the history of cinema, coinciding with the release at the cinema of “Joker – Folie à Deux” The second and most anticipated chapter of the saga directed by Todd Philips and played by the Istrions Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. The exhibition retraces some of the “crazy” characters that have most impressed lovers of the seventh art: figures feared or not accepted by society, thanks to their status as marginalised, are able to reflect the deformations of those who consider themselves “normal”.

The exhibition explores the most intriguing and unusual nuances of the human mind through eccentric characters, weird, odd, unbalanced, a little bit “crazy” in short, each in its own way “special”. From the madness that comes from social isolation we move to that which can cause the human psyche to split; from the imbalance of folk horror cinema to that typical of dream and hallucination; the madness that borders on the obsession with love to the one not so different from the infatuation that serial killers feel for their victims; the irrationality that cinema highlights in contemporary society to that which distinguishes our fear of evil; from the delusion that the thirst for revenge can instill in the human mind to that of instability that can be caused by a distorted perception of ourselves and the reality around us.

AGAIN AND AGAIN
