Born 1934 in Naples, Italy and currently resident there.
Widely known in Europe and America as a leading Italian photographer. First noted in the 1960's for his conceptual and avant garde work searching the essence of "photography", JODICE has worked on collaborations with many prominent artists active in the pop art, arte povera and Fluxus movements. Then moving on to collections with themes of place and time, and documentary photography taking up social issues, JODICE began to show beautiful　monochromes and established a distinctive style developed between tranquility and tension. His works sublimate the grandiose theme about human existence in space and time in a grammar of photography all his own. His Mediterranean photography of the 1980's and 1990's in particular has been well received in the United States as well as Europe.
JODICE was prized by Accademia dei Lincei in 2003 in recognition of his achievements in Italy and abroad in drawing photography into the realm of art. He served as professor at Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli from 1970 to 1996. The Turin Ｔｏｗｎ Museum of Modern Art (Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea Torino) held a retrospective of his work in 2001. Among the many public collections of his work are those held by the Aperture Foundation in New York City, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie in Paris and the Castello di Rivoli， Museo d'Arte Contemporanea in Turin.
