Opening: «Francesco Jodice – Panorama»

19:00 Welcome address by Dorothea Strauss, President of the Board; introduction by the curators Thomas Seelig and Francesco Zanot

Panorama is the first international retrospective dedicated to the work of Italian photographer and filmmaker, Francesco Jodice (*1967), spanning twenty years of his artistic practice. In Panorama, places, times, and stories collide, addressing sociological questions about our urban world. Fundamental to all of Jodice’s works is that their final form and the process that leads to it are equally important. Panorama invites the viewers to unravel the threads of the artist’s comprehensive and visually compelling universe. By presenting a wide range of documents such as maps, books, newspaper clippings, and interviews spread out on forty-metre long table components, the exhibition offers insights into Jodice’s artistic process as positioned between theory and practice. Panorama presents an expansive geopolitical scenario and an eclectic mosaic of a contemporary world in flux.
