Through Black Bricolage, Johny Pitts combines photography, archival material, personal documents, and testimonies to create a layered and immersive experience. Using mirrors, blurring effects, and creative assemblages, he offers a subtle and nuanced perspective on contemporary Afro-descendant identities, inviting visitors to reflect, question, and connect.
Based in London, Pitts is a writer, filmmaker, photographer, and journalist whose work focuses on Afropean culture, the experience of being both Black and European. His travels across cities such as Lisbon, Brussels, and Berlin have enabled him to engage with communities and capture their stories with striking visual power. Internationally recognized, his work has been exhibited in major institutions such as The Photographers’ Gallery in London and Foam in Amsterdam, and is part of the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

More recently, his visual work has reached a wider audience through its use as the album cover for Essex Honey by Blood Orange, further highlighting his distinctive artistic vision and cultural impact. Black Bricolage is an invitation to explore identity, memory, and belonging through the eyes of an artist who masterfully bridges stories, places, and perspectives.
