From London to Rome, the “Pink Floyd Exhibition: the mortal remains” celebrates at the Macro until 2018, 1° of July 50 years of worldwide success of the English band through a sensorial and theatral trip along with their polyhedric production. Concerts that left the mark in the collective imaginary and changed the music and the live music’s path.

Why is this exhibition worth visiting?
Those who love Pink Floyd music dive here into their artistic world at 360°, trough their soundtrack and the 350 objects, that reveal their creative poetic’s backstage. Those who know only a few about them can go through the main steps of their history: from the London underground scene of the sixties to the psychedelic music with Syd Barrett and the last musical event, “Live 8” 2005 at London. Moreover, it is the first collaboration of the last decades among the remaining members. Since it is not possible to watch them all together, it is the only way to live them again, apart from listening to their LP. Not last, this is the first stage after the inauguration in London and before the next worldwide tour.

A sensory journey into the rock
The sensory journey goes through the Contemporary Art Museum’s rooms in a chronological way: historical Album, photos, covers, manuscripts, clothes and scene masks, beyond that musical instruments, posters, storyboard, and video interview. You are surrounded by these witnesses and only an image, a note or an inflatable let you see the Pink Floyd themselves.

Innovation was their mission
This is the evidence of how much innovative they were in many disciplines. The sonic invention, musical technology, engineers of experimentation and architects of rock, all in their music and scenography’ s concerts. The first who played, like Roger Waters declares, “theatrical rock”.
Experimentation, imagination and social criticism made this band a unicum, even after 50 years. And see those who still want to listen to this kind of music at Circo Massimo on the 14th of July for the next Roger Waters concert in Rome.
