Pino Musi: Phytostopia

Their connection dates back to 2002, when they set up together the exhibition dedicated to Giuseppe Terragni hosted in the spaces of Borgovico33, the deconsecrated church of Santa Caterina in Como. From that moment on, the meetings have become assiduous and works by Musi have entered their collection.
For this exhibition, the Rolla’s asked him to exhibit an unreleased project that, in the catalog published for the occasion, Pino Musi presents as follows: “In 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, in France, Belgium, and Italy I photographed a number of ‘living walls’ that had not been tended to. I also took pictures of a series of situations that were bizarre in terms of their shape, as well as disturbing, where the plant life had altered the apparent equilibrium between nature, culture and habitat…”
The eleven photographs on display come from the archives of Pino Musi and the private collection of Philip and Rosella Rolla.
