Giorgio Cutini's 'Le città di Jo Kut' at PAN Napoli

exhibition · 2026-05-05

The PAN | Palazzo delle Arti Napoli is hosting a solo exhibition of black-and-white photographs by Giorgio Cutini (born 1947 in Perugia), titled 'Le città di Jo Kut'. The show presents analog shots capturing both real and imaginary urban landscapes, with a suspended, noir-like quality. Early works include a portrait of Baroness Durini and a homage to artist Alberto Burri. The core of the exhibition focuses on Rome and Naples, featuring transparent overlays of people and objects, strong shadow contrasts, tense light, and compositions blending architectural and geographical elements from aerial, marine, and terrestrial perspectives. The title references Italo Calvino's novel 'Invisible Cities', and the photographs evoke a similar fusion of reality and fantasy. The exhibition was reviewed by Giuseppe Amedeo Arnesano.
