Born in 1977 in Carmagnola and based in Pancalieri, Pagnone trained at the Bodoni photographic institute in Turin and later studied design at IAAD. Since 2007 he has shown work in solo and group exhibitions across Turin, Pinerolo and other Italian cities. His practice investigates the meeting points between photography and painting, using technical experimentation to question visual perception.

This exhibition is suited to visitors interested in contemporary visual experimentation and the overlap between photographic image and painterly intervention, offering a chance to see how photographic material can be transformed into new pictorial and sculptural realities.
