kevinspaceyarchives: Kevin was photographed by Mauro Maglione at Palazzo Altemps in Rome for a Rolling Stone Italia interview with poet Gabriele Tinti | August 3, 2019 (Translation by google ;)RS: The question is as trivial as it is capital: how did you convince him? GT: I’m usually very direct. I sent him an email making my work talk. And then he was also struck by a statistic I had attached, according to which usually the average user of works of art, in particular statuary, remains attracted for 10 to 15 seconds. Very little. So even Spacey must have been intrigued, as a lover of culture as he is, because this work makes the work come alive and keeps the viewer glued, not for a few seconds but for the duration of the performance. In this case the Boxer at rest . The poem, like others contained in the volume Rovineit was not written for Spacey but inspired by statuary art. This work is particularly interesting because fragments or parts are usually found, but the boxer was found intact. But even in this case something was missing: the context. And therefore the actor compensates for this nostalgia with voice and interpretation.RS: And how did you find Kevin Spacey after almost two years of absence from the scene? GT: Very well. He is a generous person. He gave himself completely to the project, he committed himself with great dedication. And then I saw him serene, with a psychological and philosophical serenity. Apart from the fact that it was not possible for him to leave the scene, he is an indelible icon of international cinema. He immediately appreciated the courage and the particularity of my proposal. He put in collaboration an unexpected intensity of participation, testifying to the great artist he is. There is no doubt that he is one of the greatest living actors. For me it was an honor to have accepted to read my verses, to be able to entrust them to him and to be able to hear them resound in his voice was a privilege. -- source link
