Biography of Mimmo Jodice

Domenico "Mimmo" Jodice was born in 1934 in Naples, Italy. 

His  journey began amidst the cultural explosion of the 1960s, where he found himself immersed in collaborations with luminaries spanning diverse artistic movements such as Pop art, Arte Povera, and Fluxus. As a documentary photographer of conceptual art, Jodice captured photographs of these artists.

Later, he focused on landscapes and scenery, becoming one of Italy's most significant photographers in this field. Jodice primarily captured Italian landscapes and cities, working exclusively with black-and-white film. He explored the concept of time by connecting the old and the new, photographing run-down monuments alongside views of modern cities.

The artist received the Feltrinelli Prize in 2003.

Jodice's impact extends far beyond Naples, with his works adorning the walls of prestigious institutions worldwide. From the Aperture Foundation in New York to the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, his photographs have been featured in numerous exhibitions.
