Fellini: Circus of Light
The exhibition Fellini: Circus of Light is an introduction to works of the film director Federico Fellini (1930 – 1993) that unveils critical aspects of the Italian maestro’s universe. Known as one of the most influential filmmakers of 20th century European cinema, Fellini is celebrated for his signature flair that combines fantasy and flamboyance within the social realities of post-World War II Italy. His approach to humanism is based on his personal experience, blended with fictional narratives.
ADM Gallery 1 features an immersive environment based on one of Fellini’s closest themes – the circus. Dedicated to Fellini’s film protagonists, the gallery highlights the many characters in Fellini’s world, drawn from his classics such as La Strada (1954), 8½ (1963), Juliet of the Spirits (1965), Satyricon (1969), The Clowns (1971), Amarcord (1973), Fellini’s Casanova (1976), Intervista (1987) among others.
ADM Gallery 2 showcases more than 50 works from the collection of the Fellini Foundation for the Cinema, comprising of photographs, movie posters and original drawings that document Fellini’s vast oeuvre. Like pentimenti seen in fading frescos that reveal traces of earlier work processes, this presentation is designed as a space that symbolises a labyrinth in light and shadow, and suggests a symbiosis between the grotesque and the sublime, and the sacred and the profane.
Fellini: Circus of Light is the collective result of many artists from ADM, practising in the disciplines of fashion, graphic, product, sound and visual effects design, as well as film and puppetry, working together to uncover the complexity of one of most compelling auteurs of the 20th century
