Love Will Tear Us Apart

A conversation about freedoms with painter Igor Scalisi Palminteri from Palermo. From freedom of expression to access to art, from gluttony to becoming a saint. A conversation without barriers with painter Igor Scalisi Palminteri from Palermo (Sicily) becomes a journey about freedoms, from being acknowledged as people with personal visions to the freedom of expression, from access to art as far as the possibility of becoming a saint. A dialogue that opens a window on the artist's murals mainly carried out in high social risk neighborhoods and on the meaning of becoming oneself. Palermo always seen from far away or from very close, is the background to the colorful itineraries, sometimes emotionally hard and sometimes playful, that are grafted onto the exploration of artistic and personal identity by both the director and his interlocutor. The personal history of the painter, with his past as a Capuchin monk, the everyday places, the studio, the neighborhoods, improvised dances on a pier, the surface of a building with a blind façade, the pigments exposed to a calculation of probability, the aerial platform, are all possible places to cross the threshold of the search for freedom.
