exhibition opening
Grotta Profunda is a stunning visual spectacle story about a deep cave in the French Pyrenees that would become the scene of the religious exaltation of the young nun Bernadette. After a vision of the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, she is flooded with an all-embracing love and thrown into the cave’s womb, where she becomes the shocked witness to Pasolini’s extravagant cosmogonic scenes, revealing the mystique and essence of humanity. Did she find herself in the divine womb or grotto of bodily sin?
