Gianni Leone's 'Inventario' Exhibition at Museo Pino Pascali

The Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali in Polignano a Mare hosts 'Inventario 1979-2015', a retrospective of photographer Gianni Leone, curated by Rosalba Branà and Antonio Frugis, running until April 3, 2016. The exhibition focuses on Leone's early work, particularly his participation in the landmark 1984 show 'Viaggio in Italia', which revolutionized Italian landscape photography. Leone began photographing in 1979 in Bari and Puglia, capturing what he calls 'residui visivi' (visual residues), inspired by Antonioni's film 'L'eclisse' and Hegelian/Marxist concepts of alienation. He stopped in 1986 due to organizational issues with the cultural association Spazio Immagine, but resumed in 1993 at the urging of critic Pietro Marino, switching to color film. The finissage on April 2 at 6:30 PM features a discussion 'Dove va la fotografia?' with Leone, Enzo Velati, Christian Caliandro, moderated by Berardo Celati.
