Paperback. Condition: New. The Complete Essays 1973-1991 is a long-awaited collection of short, allusive texts on the curiosities of photography written by the great Italian artist, Luigi Ghirri. Ghirri's writings spiral outwards from his practice, intuitively exploring the subjects at the core of his images - the themes of identity, time, memory, vision, representation, and sense of place. With a taste for the eclectic, he interweaves references as varied as Prince, Dylan, Hendrix, McLuhan, Mallarme, Gulliver, Eggleston, Evans, neo-realist film, Cezanne and Pessoa. Together, the essays offer a unique and comprehensive treatise on the history and theory of photography. Above all, they constitute a special form of autobiography for someone whose ironic wit and gentle style has trickled down to so much of contemporary photography.Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992) started writing about photography from the moment he became a photographer: for his own publications, for Italian magazines and newspapers, as well as private reflections committed to paper, where his thoughts would settle and then often depart in new directions. Born in Scandiano in 1943, Luigi Ghirri spent his working life in the Emilia Romagna region, where he produced one of the most open and layered bodies of work in the history of photography. He was published and exhibited extensively both in Italy and internationally and was at the height of his career at the time of his death in 1992. His first book, Kodachrome (1978), an avant-garde manifesto for the medium of photography and a landmark in his own remarkable oeuvre, was re-published by MACK in 2012.

Cosa vediamo quando osserviamo? Cosa vediamo quando osserviamo una fotografia? Il lavoro di Ghirri si distingue per la tensione tra l'oggetto e la sua rappresentazione e non c'è nulla che ami di più di quelle situazioni in cui i confini diventano permeabili.Il suo lavoro ci ha insegnato un nuovo modo di vedere, dando un significato a ciò che è apparentemente ovvio. Non si tratta del paesaggio che si percepisce normalmente, ma di quello che si suppone latente, inscritto nel rovescio: il paesaggio della memoria e della fiaba, il paesaggio delle figure e delle meraviglie nascoste.In questa direzione, Ghirri ha sempre preferito luoghi familiari, già visti, ma per la prima volta "osservati" con occhi diversi, dove tutto è sospeso tra passato e futuro e dove, come in campagna, il mondo può essere immaginato come una visione che suscita ancora meraviglia. Un paesaggio-pensiero. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Between the late 1970s and mid-1980s, Luigi Ghirri made a series of photographs meditating on the landscape of his native Italy, all within the grounds of a single theme park in Rimini, Emilia-Romagna. The popular tourist destination Italia in Miniatura presents scale models of Italy's major natural and architectural landmarks, brought together in surreal proximity. Ghirri photographed this fabricated world with a characteristic sensitivity for visual coincidence and irony, illusion and reality, ambiguity and artifice. Reflecting on photography's own processes of shrinking and representing, these images are among Ghirri's most distinctive, playful, and conceptually compelling.This new book presents the entirety of Ghirri's In Scala series, expanded with numerous previously unseen images, and places them in conversation with work by the park's founder and designer, Ivo Rambaldi. Rambaldi's maps, sketches, collages, and reference images, made on exhaustive research trips across Italy, offer an analogous exploration of the possibilities and paradoxes of miniaturisation. Their frank functionality resonates with Ghirri's embrace of the perspective and tools of the ama-teur. From the dialogue between these meticulous works of representation and fabrication we discover the possibility that, in Ghirri's words, 'Perhaps it's in this very space, one of total fiction, that truth is concealed'.This publication is brought together by curators Ilaria Campioli, Joan Fontcuberta, and Matteo Guidi, and includes new essays by the curators and by author Simon Garfield. It is completed by a series of images by photographer and theorist Joan Fontcuberta in response to Ghirri's and Rambaldi's encounters with the park.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Puglia. Tra albe e tramonti offers a brilliant account of Luigi Ghirri's relationship with Puglia - a distinctive region at the heel of Italy, which was pivotal in establishing Ghirri's career and continued to inspire him throughout it. A first visit in 1982 introduced Ghirri to Puglia's whitewashed streets, luminescent nights, doorways and arches, potted cacti, funfairs, and beaches, as well as a group of artists, critics, and curators who would become his close friends and collaborators. Over the following decade, Ghirri returned to the area almost every year, photographing, exhibiting, and deepening his understanding of its subtle terrain. These photographs, almost all of which are little-known and previously unpublished, capture the textures and rhythms of urban life, delighting in visual coincidence and tactile detail. Their sense of quiet discovery - and the colour film on which they are shot - allude warmly to the area's identity as a popular holiday destination. Ghirri maps the Apulian territory via the traces left by its inhabitants and visitors in images flooded with the distinctive light of Southern Italy - the bright sun and its eloquent shadows, and the otherworldly aura of neon and streetlights after dark.With texts by Adele Ghirri and Arturo Carlo Quintavalle. An irresistible portrait of the Southern Italian region of Puglia through the lens of Luigi Ghirri, comprised almost entirely of unseen images full of visual ingenuity and Italian sunlight. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
