Tina Modotti and Mimmo Jodice Dual Exhibition at CAMERA Turin

CAMERA in Turin hosts two contrasting photography exhibitions until February 2, 2025: a comprehensive retrospective of Tina Modotti (1896–1942) with 300 prints, and a new series by Mimmo Jodice (born 1934) commissioned by Fondazione Zegna. Modotti's exhibition is the most complete ever presented in Italy, covering her life between Europe and Mexico, including her Hollywood silent film career (a surviving film, The Tiger's Coat from 1920, is shown) and a reconstruction of her only solo exhibition held at the National University of Mexico in 1929, where muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros called it "the first revolutionary exhibition of Mexico." The reconstruction includes 41 confirmed prints out of an estimated 57–60, with period music by Concha Michel. Jodice's project, Oasi, documents the Oasi Zegna in Biella, including the villa, industrial machinery, and natural landscape, departing from his usual Mediterranean themes. The exhibition continues at Casa Zegna and the Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna in Trivero with four large-format prints.
