Daily Bread is a solo exhibition by French-Italian photographer Jean-Marc Caimi. Widely recognized for his work as a photojournalist, Caimi has focused on many humanitarian and social issues, including the anti-government demonstrations in Ukraine, the veterans of the war in Libya, and the financial crisis in Greece. In Daily Bread we have an opportunity to see another kind of picture-making from this highly acclaimed photographer. In his compelling new body of work, rather than committing his lens to showing the newsworthy reality of other people, Caimi seeks to represent the essence of his own existence and rites of passage.
“Sex, food, nature, the city where I live, my son, relationships, friends, family, even fleeting encounters, these moments enrich me as a human being. They are archetypal, belonging to a common DNA, the essence of our very biology. They are at the root of my existence, hovering in the pictures of my life.Sometimes there is tranquility and safety. Other times there is flux and danger. Discovery can be euphoric, but even when knowledge brings pain and discomfort I welcome my vulnerability as an emotional lash to arouse the soul.”
