In this exhibition outside, to clear my head (2020–2022) imagines and embodies two walks Pasolini took near to his home neighbourhoods of Versuta (where he lived from 1942-1950) and Rebibbia (where he lived from 1951-1954). They are the kind of walks we all do alone, sometimes at night, when trying to get clarity, make a decision, feel oneself and achieve some form of peace. In both Versuta and Rebibbia Chodzko selected a sequence of 10 x 3m2 areas of suburban street where he felt Pasolini might have restlessly walked and reached a cul de sac, a dead end, a turning point before then returning home.
(Coincidentally, in both Versuta and Rebibbia there is a ‘coiling’!).
