Photography

Pepper began his career as an apprentice to Ugo Mulas who gave him his first formal training in the art of street photography.Pepper pursued his work in photography (analog) for three decades while simultaneously directing in the theatre and in film. His show 'Rome: 1969 – An Hommage to Italian Neo-Realist Cinema' (USA/France 2008)^{[1] [2]} lead him back to his native Italy where Lanterna Magica Edizioni published the book Sans Papier (Italy 2011)^[3] with subsequent exhibitions in Rome,^{[4] [5] [6] [7] [8]} Venice, Saint Petersburg (Russia),^[9] Paris, Palermo (Sicily).^{[10] [11]}

In 2012, the Manège Museum in Saint Petersburg, (Russia) showed Pepper's new work^[12] which the Istituto Superiore Per la Storia della Fotografia (Italy) published as a new book of photographs in 2014 called 'Evaporations'^[13] that previews at the Officina delle Zattere in Venice (Italy).

In 2015, the Italian Institute of Culture and the Russia Federation Ministry of Culture sponsored a traveling exhibition that opened at the Rosphoto Photography Museum (Saint Petersburg, Russia).^[14]

In March 2015, Pepper had a retrospective exhibit at the Showcase Gallery in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).^[15]

From November 2016 to January 2017, Pepper's Evaporations / Испарения was shown in Rome, (Italy) at Fondazione Terzo Pilastro e Meditteraneo's, 'Museo Palazzo Cipolla'. The monumental exhibit consisted of 52 works ranging from 120 x160cm to 3m x 5m.^{[20] [21] [22]}

In November 2017, Pepper inaugurated Inhabited Deserts at La Galerie du Palace in Paris.^[23] This show is the first stop of a traveling exhibition (France, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Israel, Russia, Italy and USA) of new photographs where Pepper questions whether man's presence has inexorably altered the landscape or whether the land is in essence still close to what it was before mankind arrived. In September 2018 Inhabited Deserts was presented at the Aaran Gallery in Tehran;^{[24] [25] [26]} then in November a selection of Inhabited Deserts was shown at Paris Photo 2019 with the Sophie Scheidecker Gallery before Pepper took the show to Tel Aviv at the 6th edition of the International festival Photo Is:Rael.^{[27] [28]} From 12 December 2018 to 15 February Inhabited Deserts was presented at The Empty Quarter Gallery in Dubai, U.A.E., with curatorial text by Kirill Petrin.^{[29] [30] [31] [32] [33]} Subsequently the show opened on 19 March 2019 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, at the Art of Foto Gallery^{[34] [35]} and shortly thereafter, on 18 April, it returned to Tel Aviv at the NOX Contemporary Gallery.^[36] In 2020 Inhabited Deserts will be seen in the United States and Italy. In 2019, Pepper opened 'Rome 1969, An Homage to Italian Neo-Realism' at the RAW Streetphoto Gallery in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.^{[37] [38] [39]}

In October 2020, Inhabited Deserts, opened in the city of Todi (PG), Italy, supported by 'Fondazione Art e Cultura'(Professor Emmanuele Emanuele, President),^[40] the American Embassy in Rome and the city of Todi. The exhibition was preceded by a unique Peace Conference:'The Absent Border: Conflicts and New Harmonies', a unique Peace Conference, where an Iranian desert explorer sat and discoursed with an Israeli Archeologist, a Bedouin Sheikh, a Russian Curator, an American diplomat, an Italian Curator Gianluca Marziani, an American actor Giancarlo Esposito^[41] and John R. Pepper.^[42] The conference revolved how, through art and artists, countries and people in conflict, can create bridges of communication. Giancarlo Esposito, using one of Peppers desert photographs, created a drawing representing a new symbol for peace.^[43]

In 2021, Inhabited Deserts was one of the main events of the 2nd Biennale di Senigallia curated by Serge Plantureux.^[44] Also in 2021, Pepper participated in Bryansk International Photo Festival with 'Rome 1969 meets Sans Papier' photographs of Rome 40 years apart.^{[45] [46]} In 2022 with the support of the Italian Embassy in Tbilisi, Pepper presented 'Fragments of Italy 1970–2010', Kolga Tbilisi Photo (Tbilisi, Georgia).^{[47] [48]}
