Across the border. The images of Mimmo and Francesco Jodice

It often happens, in art as in the entertainment world, that a craft is passed down from father to son, but it is rare for two generations to achieve the same level of excellence. In the case of Mimmo and Francesco Jodice, however, talent has not been spared. Mimmo is one of the great names in the history of Italian photography. An avant-garde artist since the 1960s, he has been a tireless protagonist in the cultural debate that led to the international success of Italian photography. Francesco's artistic research, on the other hand, addresses the changes in the contemporary social landscape in relation to urban anthropology, proposing a practice of art as a civic poetic. For the first time, Mimmo and Francesco, father and son, two generations of contemporary Italian photography, dialogue and exchange views on photography, the city, art's social commitment, and their gaze on a world undergoing profound transformation. Through the anomaly of their corneas, they will allow us to perceive reality with a lateral gaze, going beyond the boundary.
