I, Vulgaris
Pascale Giorgi, 2019.
Music by Davide Barbafiera
Video, 5mins 8sec
The pedestals of iconic Renaissance sculptures historically reserved for inscriptions honouring popes, financiers and kings are instead the set for scatological jokes, accompanied by a looping electronica translation of the famous tenor aria Vesti La Giubba (English- ‘put on your costume’) from Ruggero Leoncavallo's 1892 opera Pagliacci.
