Pino Musi's 'Continuum' at Teatro dell'Architettura, Mendrisio
At the Teatro dell'Architettura in Mendrisio, the Università della Svizzera Italiana / Accademia d'Architettura showcases 'Continuum', an exhibition by photographer Pino Musi (b. 1958, Salerno), under the curation of Michael Jakob. This exhibition is open until December 20, 2026, and is accompanied by a publication from Silvana Editoriale. In a conversation with Angela Madesani, Musi characterizes the exhibition as a dynamic space where images transcend chronological constraints. The sections include 'Origini', 'Metonimia', 'Iperbole', 'Superficie', 'Transizione', and 'Incompiutezza'. Musi highlights the significance of primitive architecture, rhetorical devices, and the impact of large-format black-and-white photography in altering perception. The venue is located at Via Alfonso Turconi, 25, Mendrisio.
