Giacomo De Luca: solo exhibition "The Relic Body" at MUST Lecce

Giacomo De Luca opens solo exhibition "The Relic Body" at MUST Lecce

Opening: 24 April 2026, 19:30 (Sala Marianna Elmo). Inaugural performance at 20:00. Exhibition period: 24 April – 28 May 2026.

This first solo exhibition in Italy by Giacomo De Luca investigates the relationship between the body, organic material and the sacred through an installation that combines sculpture, video and live performance. The show aims to create a sensory and reflective dramaturgy that questions ritual practices and bodily memory.

Curators and project

The exhibition is curated by the artist together with Cesare Biasini Selvaggi and Matteo Scabeni and is part of the "Paesaggi Mediterranei" programme by Lecce Contemporanea Mediterranea, an initiative that promotes young artists under 35 in the region.
