An exhibition that ran for 3 1/2 months / 35,000 visitors / 2nd most visited exhibition within that period (after Carravagio) / 18 videos shown, amounting to 10 hours of screening / 15 alcoves converted into screening rooms / A mosaic of 1000 faces / One "making-of" area
FROM JUNE 11 TO SEPTEMBER 26, 2010
The exhibition took place in the heart of the city, in the famous Mercati di Traiano building – the "Markets of Trajan", facing the Colosseum. Visitors were invited to embark on the journey to meet men and women, by following a path through the building and leading to fifteen screening sessions held in 15 alcoves. The contrast between portraits dating back to Roman times and portraits of today allowed visitors to cross the border of civilizations in a majestic setting.
