The philosopher explains why an immersion into the dark world of Joker can cure us of politically correct illusions and simplifications, among other things.
I illustrated an interesting essay by Slavoj Žižek about the film Joker, for Italian magazine Internazionale. The philosopher explains why an immersion into the dark world of Joker can cure us of politically correct illusions and simplifications, among other things. Žižek also describes Joker's behavior from a psychoanalytic point of view, and tells why Joker couldn't be a symbol of political protest in the real world, as the character's violence has not a political intent and he's just an explosion of negativity for his own sake.
Poster illustration for the 14th edition of Sedicicorto, International Film Festival based in Forlì, Italy.
This year's theme is migration and integration, with a special section dedicated to Charlie Chaplin's short film The Immigrant. It has been 25 years since Italian actor Ugo Tognazzi died. To celebrate one of the greatest actor of his generation, association Tapirulan asked 33 artists to create a poster artwork inspired by one of Tognazzi's movies. Here's my contribution, "Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man" (1981).
The exhibition is called 33T d'autore. You can visit it at Spazio Tapirulan (Corso XX Settembre 22, Cremona, Italy) until November 22. My illustration for Variety: Big Four Networks Tear Up the Pilot Season Rulebook.
