Killed by power, betrayed by lies.
Pier Paolo Pasolini (05/03/1922 – 02/11/1975) was an Italian poet, writer, filmmaker, and intellectual, one of the most fearless voices of the 20th century. He exposed injustice, hypocrisy, and corruption in every form, challenging the mafia, political power, and societal lies. His works — from novels to poetry, from films to journalism — were a relentless call to see the truth.
On November 2, 1975, Pasolini was brutally murdered at the Ostia seaside near Rome. The official version blamed a young man considered his friend, with whom he allegedly had a personal relationship. Later testimonies and evidence suggested that the confession was coerced and that the murder was orchestrated to silence him for his uncompromising critique of power and corruption.
Pasolini’s death was not just an assassination: it was a calculated act to extinguish a voice that shone too brightly. His legacy endures through his writings and films, continuing to awaken consciences and challenge lies and injustices in the world.I publish these images to honor those who were killed for truth and to keep their memory alive.
In today’s darkest times, it feels as if their voices never existed, as power continues to suppress and replace them with imitation.
These works are a reminder that truth must never be forgotten.
