From a still, rain-glazed alley in Rome to a mountain road careening through the Dolomites, from a moment of silent intimacy with the sculpture of David to a sun-baked street in Naples, Mimmo Jodice infuses his images of Italy with a fascinating appeal. At once a photographer, a documentarian and a magic realist, Jodice creates images marked by their somewhat dizzying sense of movement, achieved by a slight blurring or zooming of the camera, giving volume and substance to the ordinary and unnoticed.
