Francesco Vezzoli's "Trilogia della Morte" ("Trilogy of Death") explores video and embroidery, an unconventional combination unified by both passion and effectiveness. "The 120 Seats of Sodom, " inspired by the Italian director and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini's "The 120 Days of Sodom, " aligns 120 black Charles Rennie Mackintosh chairs with embroidered seats before a tapestry showing erotic scenes from other Pasolini films. "Non-Love Meetings, " conceived as a reinvention of Pasolini's documentary "Love Meetings, " in which the director traveled through Italy interviewing people about love and sex, is set in a television studio and evokes "Blind Date" as much as its titular reference. Like "Love Meetings, " it seeks to create a psychological territory in which the public speaks openly about sex and love, like reality TV, it stars a showgirl, as well as actresses from the film world, MTV and soap operas, all of whom are courted by unlikely suitors. A fetching and thought-provoking mix of both formal and colloquial entertainment.
