Gianfranco Chiavacci (Pistoia, 1936–2011) was one of the most rigorous figures in Italian artistic experimentation in the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition critically retraces his career through a selection of significant works that convey the methodological coherence and theoretical depth of his research. Self-taught and distant from any form of expressionism, Chiavacci developed a practice based on the construction of regulated visual systems over more than fifty years, in which the image is never a representation but the result of a logical and operational process.

The title ZEROZEROUNOZERO symbolically refers to the binary code, logic, and systematic structure that form the core of the artist’s practice, emphasizing its conceptual and experimental dimension. Chiavacci’s research also falls within the field of photography, positioning him as a pioneer of photography as an absolute language. His photographs have been exhibited at major international fairs.
