The Story

Among the many recurring interests that connect the rich and open-ended oeuvre of Luigi Ghirri, a fascination with travel resonates through his photographs, publications, and writings. This book by curator James Lingwood charts a course through Ghirri’s photography between 1970 and 1991, exploring the manifold ways in which journeys – viaggi – appear: in iconic landscapes in the Dolomites and the lakes of northern Italy; in the mirror-worlds of seaside resorts along the Adriatic and Mediterranean; among museums, archaeological sites, and theme parks; inside atlases and on postcards; and along his own bookshelves, with their evocative titles and mementoes. This vividly curated book maps a route through Ghirri’s work that takes in familiar landmarks and surprising detours, interleaving many of his best loved photographs with unseen discoveries from the Ghirri archive.

Luigi Ghirri: Viaggi introduces an essential artist of the late twentieth century through one of his most enduring and beloved themes, delving into Ghirri’s uniquely playful and profound conception of image-making in an age of popular photography and tourism. It is completed by in-depth essays by Tobia Bezzola, James Lingwood, and Maria Antonella Pelizzari, which situate Ghirri’s work in relation to Italian and international contexts and the wider world of image-making and consumption with which he enthusiastically engaged.

Co-published with MASI Lugano, this book accompanies the exhibition ‘Luigi Ghirri: Viaggi. Photographs 1970–1991’ at Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana, Lugano, 8 September 2024–26 January 2025.

 

Tra i molti interessi ricorrenti che caratterizzano l’opera vasta e variegata di Luigi Ghirri, spicca una fascinazione per i viaggi, che emerge chiaramente dalle sue fotografie, pubblicazioni e scritti. Questo libro, curato da James Lingwood, esplora la fotografia di Ghirri nel periodo tra il 1970 e il 1991, analizzando i diversi modi in cui il tema del viaggio si manifesta: nei paesaggi iconici delle Dolomiti e dei laghi del Nord Italia; nei mondi specchio delle località balneari dell’Adriatico e del Mediterraneo; tra musei, siti archeologici e parchi tematici; all’interno di atlanti e su cartoline; e tra i ripiani delle sue librerie, ricche di titoli suggestivi e souvenir. Curato con scrupolosa attenzione, il volume traccia un percorso attraverso l’opera di Ghirri che tocca punti di riferimento noti e deviazioni inaspettate, integrando molte delle sue fotografie più celebri con scoperte inedite provenienti dall’archivio Ghirri.

Luigi Ghirri. Viaggi presenta un artista emblematico della fine del ventesimo secolo attraverso uno dei suoi temi più persistenti e amati, esplorando in modo unico la concezione ludica e profonda che Ghirri aveva del fare immagini in un’epoca di fotografia popolare e turismo. Il libro è arricchito da saggi di approfondimento di Tobia Bezzola, James Lingwood e Maria Antonella Pelizzari, che collocano l’opera di Ghirri nel contesto italiano e internazionale e nel più ampio panorama della produzione e del consumo di immagini, a cui l’artista si è dedicato con passione.

Co-pubblicato in collaborazione con MASI Lugano, il libro accompagna la mostra “Luigi Ghirri. Viaggi. Fotografie 1970–1991”, Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana, Lugano, 8 settembre 2024 – 26 gennaio 2025.
