Information
Vintage C-print
cm 100 x 125 | 39.4 x 49.2 in.
Edition 1 of 8
What we want is part of a larger project with the same name that critically investigates the relationship between large urban landscapes and the communities that inhabit them and that change them and are changed by them. As emphasized here, the photographer stands in the role of observer of the projection of collective desires onto the landscape. Men and women, distant and therefore recognizable only as a crowd and not as individuals occupy the lower part of the image as squeezed between the flow of traffic and the wall that divides them from a construction site on which their moving figures stand out. The sky is there, distant and almost invisible because the space of the shot is completely occupied by a chase of constructions, advertising signs, buildings with closed windows, skyscrapers built and under construction. It is an organized disorder that appears to us or perhaps just an order that the chromatic delicacy of the whole makes slightly disturbing.

Francesco Jodice (Naples 1967) graduated in architecture in Milan where he lives and works, since 1995 he has been using photography and later the medium of film to face the themes of change affecting large contemporary urban landscapes by participating in the establishment of the Multiplicity group. Other researches are then those related to megapolitism as to the crisis of the Western system and its possible future scenarios always considering his work as a civil practice aimed at creating models of public participation. A lecturer at the NABA Academy, he has participated in major exhibitions in Kassel, Venice, New York, São Paulo, London, and Madrid.What we want is part of a larger project with the same name that critically investigates the relationship between large urban landscapes and the communities that inhabit them and that change them and are changed by them.
