“I look for silence, for a suspended time.”
The signature
Silent, timeless black-and-white Naples and Mediterranean, classical sculpture made eerie.
What to study
Jodice empties the city of people to find its ghosts. Study his metaphysical stillness, his way of photographing ancient statues and Mediterranean ruins so they seem to dream. Learn how absence and silence can be as powerful as the decisive moment.
Italian context
A great Neapolitan modernist, master of the silent city.
Why for Matias
He shows the power of the empty frame, useful when you photograph Bologna's porticoes at dawn before the crowds.
