Pino Pascali Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art
Polignano A Mare

On Friday 25 November at 6 pm (until 9 April 2023) the Pino Pascali Foundation presents an exhibition by Edward Burtynsky , a famous photographer of industrial landscapes, one of the most internationally appreciated contemporary artists for his civil commitment in witnessing the impact of man on the planet.

The exhibition, entitled Edward Burtynsky: Xylella Studies , documents the ecological disaster that hit the olive trees in Puglia and is the result of the work started with the Sylva Foundation , a non-profit organization that deals with environmental regeneration through reforestation activities. A year ago the Foundation, which was born in 2021 with the aim of regenerating the Apulian landscape, hosted the Canadian photographer author of Anthropocene in residence in Salento, entrusting him with the task of translating into images and videos the destruction of the millennial tree heritage and of the Apulian landscape caused by the xylella bacterium.
