This is christian berst’s third solo exhibition of Giovanni Bosco (1948–2009), a former shepherd and marble-quarry worker whose psychosis after his brothers’ murder by the mafia led to psychiatric hospitalization and a year in prison. In Castellamare del Golfo, near Palermo, he painted walls and scrap materials in an invented visual language of hybrid homunculi, musclebound figures, votive limbs and glyph-like signs, often awash in red. Scholar Eva Di Stefano called him a thinker in images; his work is now held in major art brut collections, including those of Antoine de Galbert and Bruno Decharme.

Curated by Marc Donnadieu as part of the bicentennial of photography, the show sets late-19th- and early-20th-century documentary, medical, police and judicial photographs of identification, arrest and incarceration — in prisons, penal colonies, asylums and internment camps — against drawings made by art brut artists while imprisoned or confined, some made clandestinely and some under supervision. The works, which often depict the architecture of confinement itself or unexpected forms of self-representation, set power against counter-power; the project is dedicated to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Michel Foucault, Chris Marker and Éric Rondepierre.
