Mimmo Jodice. Oasi

From October 16, 2024 until February 2, 2025, CAMERA’s Project Room will host Mimmo Jodice. Oasi, an exhibition in collaboration with Fondazione Zegna.

Curated by Walter Guadagnini, with the collaboration of Barbara Bergaglio, the exhibition presents for the first time 40 images belonging to the series made by the Naples-born photographer, between the spring and winter of 2008, for a commission received by the Foundation. An extraordinary corpus within which it is possible to find all of Jodice’s poetics, his ability to transform the elements of reality, natural or artificial, landscapes or interiors, plants or industrial machinery, into metaphysical visions, suspended in time and space.

As a preview, on the occasion of the FAI Days, four large prints by the artist from the same series will be presented on October 12 at Casa Zegna and Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna in Trivero (Biella). For the occasion, Walter Guadagnini will give a talk entitled The Weave and the Snow. Mimmo Jodice in Trivero.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog, published by Dario Cimorelli Editore, introduced by a testimonial by Anna Zegna, president of Fondazione Zegna, with an essay by curator Walter Guadagnini, a text by Ilaria Bonacossa and the reproduction of the complete series, consisting of more than 60 works.
