IL SEME DELL’UOMO

Both in “Dillinger is Dead” (1969) and in “The Seed of Man” (1969) – two films by Marco Ferreri that analyze alienation and limits of the Western capitalist system – appears a strange gun. Consani interprets and reconstructs this gun and returns it made in brittle ceramic, furthermore emptied of its original function.
