Last chance to see Mimmo Jodice’s Senza Tempo at Villa Bardini in Florence

Only a few hours left to see Senza Tempo, the latest superb exhibition at Villa Bardini featuring images by Mimmo Jodice, the Neapolitan leading master of Italian photography.
The show curated by Roberto Koch, presents 80 photographs taken between 1964 and 2011, covering some of the most important themes that the photography master has addressed throughout his long artistic career. The exhibit is broken down into eight sections entitled Anamnesis, Languages, Views of Naples, City, Nature and Sea, including one new section displaying Jodice’s homage to Michelangelo Buonarroti’s Florentine sculptures.
For the very first time the Tribute to Michelangelo section showcases ten vintage photographs reflecting the artist’s long research into sculpture with a particular focus on faces, revisiting works such as the Madonna of the Pitti Tondo and the Bandini Pietà through Jodice’s caressing eye that reveals the fragile and yet powerful energy of some of Michelangelo’s most evoking pieces. A film by Mario Martone gives unique insight, starting and finishing with the photographer looking out to sea, a place that has a strong influence on the artist, “where reality and dreams come together”.
