This new edition of Kodachrome is published as a facsimile of the original, adopting the original design, text layout and image sequence, but using new image files scanned from Ghirri's original film to take advantage of modern technology and printing methods. A small booklet is included with an essay by Francesco Zanot, which offers a contemporary perspective on the historical impact of Kodachrome, alongside French and German translations of the original texts from the book (which were published in English and Italian). 'The daily encounter with reality, the fictions, the surrogates, the ambiguous, poetic or alienating aspects, all seem to preclude any way out of the labyrinth, the walls of which are ever more illusory... to the point at which we might merge with them... The meaning that I am trying to render through my work is a verification of how it is still possible to desire and face a path of knowledge, to be able finally to distinguish the precise identity of man, things, life, from the image of man, things, and life.' Luigi Ghirri Born in Scandiano in 1942, 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.

The Complete Essays 1973–1991

Une collection de 18 cartes postales d'images de l'œuvre remarquable de l'énigmatique photographe italien Luigi Ghirri. De 1970 à 1992, cette sélection organisée comprend bon nombre de ses photographies classiques, ainsi que des images moins connues. Également parfaitement encadrée ou sur un réfrigérateur, et adaptée à diverses occasions - des anniversaires à Noël et au réservoir - chaque photo atteste des propres mots de Ghirri selon lesquels `` prendre des photos, c'est avant tout restaurer un émerveillement ''.

Luigi Ghirri Postcards

À partir de 1970, Luigi Ghirri a parcouru les maisons, les rues, les places et les banlieues de sa ville adoptive de Modène et a construit un ensemble d'œuvres anciennes qui contiennent des panneaux indiquant de nombreuses directions que sa pratique allait prendre par la suite. La plupart du temps, il travaillait à Modène, ne voyageant qu'occasionnellement plus loin sur les plages de Rimini sur l'Adriatique ou les lacs suisses. Il a commencé à tracer des projets et des thèmes - certains regroupés spécifiquement autour d'un sujet, d'autres réunis autour d'un principe d'organisation plus poétique. L’un de ces derniers était Colazione sull’Erba (Petit-déjeuner sur l’herbe) dans lequel il a acheté ensemble des photographies réalisées entre 1972 et 1974 dans la périphérie de Modène qu’il déclare «avoir visité de manière ironique et anxieuse». Son objectif était la jonction de la nature et de l'artifice dans l'environnement créé par l'homme; les symétries des cyprès, les pelouses bien entretenues, la touche personnalisée des plantes en pots, palmiers et cactus avec leur promesse d'ailleurs. Sur le modèle de Kodachrome, le pâle séminal de Ghirri à la photographie qu'il a auto-publié en 1978, ce volume est le premier livre d'une série planifiée qui prendra les catégories originales de Ghirri pour son propre travail comme base pour une collection élaborant l'œuvre du grand photographe.

Colazione sull'erba

Through the course of the 1970s and 1980s, Luigi Ghirri pursued his extraordinary project, open-ended and mercurial, marked by empathy for the changing everyday spaces of his time. Over the course of his short career, Ghirri would produce a vast body of photographs without parallel in the Europe of his time and numerous writings which would have an indelible impact on the history of photography. This extensive book compiled by the renowned British curator James Lingwood accompanies a touring exhibition to three major museum venues across Europe and focuses on the first decade of Ghirri’s work, defined by his 1979 exhibition in Parma. Vera Fotografia was grouped into fourteen different narrative sequences, each of which is represented in this volume: Fotografie del periodo iniziale (1970), Kodachrome (1970-78), Colazione sull’erba (1972-74), Catalogo (1970-79), Km 0.250 (1973), Diaframma 11, 1/125, luce naturale (1970-79), Atlante, (1973), Italia Ailati (1971-79), Il paese del baloc
