Figure del mare

“Every work springs out of occasional emotions, every photo is the result of an encounter that causes a particular state of mind. It is as if the images of landscape, shapes, matter and light are always waiting for me”. Among the greatest and most important Italian photographers, Mimmo Jodice is on display in Capri. The exhibition revolves around two main themes: the idea of the sea as a vacuum, a no-scape place, silence and lingering time to be conceived as a reaction to the chaos of contemporary life and the persistence of the past into the present, through the representation of fragments of sculptured bodies and faces as left-overs from the classical age in the Mediterranean civilization. The latter, in Jodice’s vision, the womb and workshop of history and culture, is a lyrical and mental place which allowed his early restless research to develop into the coincidence of images and emotion.
