A Desperate Vitality
Visions of Pasolini (Italy) 
Photographies by Annette Schreyer
Text by Annette Schreyer 

Screening of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s movie "Accattone" in front of Castel S.Angelo near the Tiber river shore where parts of the movie take place. Rome, 2005.

My homage to the great poet, film maker and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini, was sparked by the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death. This work is not meant to be a documentary, rather it is a collection of “Pasolinian” atmospheric images. Following in his foot-steps, I wandered the city of Rome, inspired by his works that explore places of the lowest level of the working class, that evoke the milieu of “his” ragazzi di vita: it were the streets of the borgate, the slums, where he felt at home – he, the intellectual, who felt an almost violent attraction to the vitality and physicality of the ordinary people.

Annette Schreyer (Nazca Pictures) 
Born in 1974 in Ulm (Germany), Annette Schreyer grew up in Munich, where she attended the Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding and Ludwig Maximilian University. During her studies she worked as assistant director and assistant dramaturge in theatre and opera at the Bavarian State Theatre, Munich State Theatre Gaertnerplatz, Munich Academy Theatre and Teatro Politeama of Palermo. At that time she discovered her interest in photography, started working as a photo assistant, and began to develop her first photographic projects, particularly portraits. In 2000, she received her degrees in dramaturgy, English literature and art history. 
In 2001, she won a Leonardo da Vinci Scholarship by the European Union for a working trip to Italy, where she was able to continue intensified work in photography.
Annette Schreyer now is a freelance photographer specializing in people photography and photo journalism. In 1999, her portraits win the Special Prize at the 5th Portrait Contest of Germany, Dresden, and the Special Prize at 100 Pictures of 1998 by the German Society for Photography. In 2003, she receives an Award by Leica AG Germany. In 2005, her series Teen Mothers wins in the category “Best Portfolio” at the Premio Canon Giovani Fotografi 2004. 
She participated in several collective exhibitions, such as 100 Pictures of 1998 (Berlin, 1999) 6thKajaani International Exhibition of Nature Photography (Finland, 2001), 5th International Barnack Biennale (Germany, 2003), Award Winners’ Exhibition Premio Giovani Fotografi 2004 (Milan, 2005).
She had her own exhibitions in Munich (Museumspädagogisches Zentrum, 1994) Palermo (Sala Greca, 1999), Rome (Spazio Pride Lungotevere Ripa, 2003) and Catania (Chiostro CGIL, 2003 and Galleria Carta Bianca, 2003).

Her pictures have been published in international magazines such as Panorama, Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, Il Fotografo, D di Repubblica, Woman, Vogue Bambini, Elle France, etc.
Besides the commitment to her photographic work, she has never lost her passion for the theatre, and she has a permanent engagement as freelance assistent director for theatre and video productions at Teatro Club of Catania. Recently, she has finished her first collaboration in a documentary, Non ho l’ età, directed by Paola Greco and sponsored by the provincial government of Catania. The film is based on her research on teenage mothers in Sicily.
