Irene Pucci's Black-and-White Photography Explores Memory and Identity

Irene Pucci (born 1975 in Gioia del Colle) presents her solo exhibition "Isola" at Casa del Mutilato in Bari, curated by Isabella Battista and promoted by FPS Arte & Cultura. The show features black-and-white photographs capturing fragments of interior vision and existential reflection, with subjects including the Abbey of San Vito in Polignano a Mare seen through a wet glass, a shop in Taranto's old town topped with a fishing net woven with starfish, and an elderly woman wearing a distinctive diadem. Pucci's work avoids documentary intent, instead focusing on seemingly irrelevant details to explore individual and collective psyche. The exhibition continues her autobiographical visual journey, following her previous solo show "Oppio" held last year at Palazzo Oldofredi Tadini Botti in Torre Pallavicina, Bergamo. Curator Battista notes that Pucci captures unrepeatable moments that describe life as it unfolds, favoring unexpected situations destined never to recur.
