Since 1999, Jay Wolke has been photographing in the south of Italy . During these visits, Wolke has captured the complexity of a landscape called the Mezzogiorno. What he found in this storied landscape is an elaborate set of physical, social and political structures, manifesting in an extraordinary folding together of visual information. On one level, the images he has created are referential and documentary-but on another level, they are about what cannot be explicitly seen, what is hidden and implied. Wolke's color photographs convey purposeful neutrality; constructions of selected non-fictions resonating between historical and contemporary meaning. The larger narratives of the marks made, marks abandoned, and marks erased, represent numerous conquerors and occupiers, from the Greeks to the Spanish to the Camorra.
