Evoking the spirit of postwar neo-realism, Marcopoulos sketches an impression of the Italian capital with unvarnished detail, capturing the quotidian life of a city where past and present collide. A lone roller-skater pirouettes beside an ancient canal, a commuter practices hip-hop steps awaiting a bus, a statue lies in repose inside a baroque cathedral and children watch a street puppet show—images at once immediate and hypnotically out of time.
