MIA PHOTO FAIR | 2015

Past Fair

Podbielski Contemporary proudly presenting:

And first there was chaos…
(The themes of water and the woman, as in mother earth, as the archetypes of origin of life and as the equilibrium of all elements)

At MIA 2015, we wish to present a significant and thematic dialogue between four voices of established career artists, each working with the medium of photography, each investigating one of the three themes chosen for MIA 2015: images of human activity on nature, water as the element of life for the earth and for man and the woman as the origin of life.

 

Francesco Jodice (1967, Napoli, Italy):lives and works in Milan. His researches encompass changes in modern social landscape underlining new relevant phenomena in urban anthropology. His work explores the urgency for a common ground between art and geopolitics.
The Fondazione Capricommissioned his latest series “Diefenbach”. The project is promoted by the Superintendence for the Historical, Artistic, Ethno-anthropological Heritage and by the Museum of the City of Naples to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of the artist Wilhelm Diefenbach. Inspired by the works of the German artist, Jodice was asked to draw upon the tension that emerges from his paintings, where sudden glimpses of light break the darkness of his paintings.
