From September 20, 2025 to January 6, 2026, the Biscozzi Foundation | Rimbaud ETS of Lecce presents the exhibition Pino Musi. Polyphōnia, curated by Stefania Zuliani.

The eleventh exhibition of the Foundation — established in 2018 by Luigi Biscozzi and Dominique Rimbaud with the aim of promoting modern and contemporary art — brings to Lecce the work of Pino Musi (Salerno, 1958), an internationally renowned visual artist and photographer who has been living in Paris for many years.

These are the words of the president Dominique Rimbaud: "It is an honor and a great joy to host the exhibition of Pino Musi. Musi plays with images – we can no longer speak of simple photographs – that his imagination and his gaze, balanced between a deep tenderness for the outskirts of the world and the analytical lucidity of the artist, have been able to capture, transform, and transmute into abstract works. I am particularly pleased to welcome these works in the halls of the Foundation, alongside the works of great protagonists of Italian and international abstract art."

Pino Musi started taking photographs at a very young age, at 14, teaching himself the technique of black and white. His path has been significantly influenced by a involvement in avant-garde and experimental theater, at least until the end of the 1980s. Over time, his research has encountered and related different cultural fields, intertwining anthropology and architecture, archaeology and industry in a personal way.

His photography is based on formal rigor, rhythm, and subtraction. The goal is not to represent visible reality, but to produce, through a subtle balance between abstraction and analytical dimension, stripped of any form of aestheticization or nostalgia, unexpected insights and visual counterpoints that harmonize in a complex harmony. In Polyphōnia, working exclusively in black and white, Musi adopts digital techniques with measured interventions that reveal the hidden and ambiguous essence of the photographed subjects.
