Artist Francesco Jodice takes part in the group exhibition Moby Dick – La Balena. Storia di un mito dall’antichità all’arte contemporanea, held at Palazzo Ducale in Genoa from 12 October 2025 to 15 February 2026. Inspired by Herman Melville’s celebrated novel, the project investigates the whale as a universal symbol, tracing centuries of artistic and cultural representations—from ancient myth to modern literature and contemporary art.

The exhibition presents a wide-ranging itinerary uniting installations, videos, sculptures, photographs, and historical materials to explore the complex relationships between humankind and nature, power and fragility, knowledge and mystery. In dialogue with works by international artists, Jodice’s contribution interprets the whale as a political and symbolic figure—an emblem of the tensions and anxieties of the contemporary world.
