Beschreibung

Publisher: Mack, 2018 Three paperback volumes each with tipped-in-image and a bilingual booklet [with Guido Guidi in conversation], all housed together in a printed slipcase, 30x24 cm, 464 Pages, First Edition Condition: New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil Language: Italian and English ISBN: 978-1-912339-17-4 Per Strada brings together photographs made by Guido Guidi from 1980 to 1994, along the Via Emilia an ancient Italian road connecting Milan with the Adriatic Sea, which passes close to Guidi's home. To this day, the Via Emilia is the territorial backbone of the Southern tier of the Po Valley, running through mid-size cities such as Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Forlì, and Rimini. Using an 8x10 inch camera, Guidi directs his lens towards the interstices between cities rather than on historical centres. His three-volume book charts a rich palimpsest of signs in the landscape built from centuries of residential, agricultural, industrial, and commercial activity. Guidi s project on the Via Emilia began in the environs of his hometown, Cesena. For the Italian artist, photographing everyday landscapes is a way to acknowledge the importance of the vernacular, but also to break free from one s own stereotypes, ideas, and constraints. As he has stated, At a certain moment I felt pushed to leave my room, like in Wim Wenders s film The Wrong Move (1975), when Wilhelm breaks the windowpane with the palm of his hand and leaves the house. I leave the house and what do I find? A house, an entrance door, a woman who passes by or who asks me something. Photographs from this book were partly published in a book made in collaboration with Luigi Ghirri and edited by Guidi, Due fotografi per il Teatro Bonci (1983). The body of work continued with individual and collective projects, including the 1986 group exhibition Esplorazioni sulla Via Emilia.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Editore: Mack, 2018 Tre volumi tascabili ciascuno con immagine fuori testo e un libretto bilingue [con Guido Guidi in conversazione], il tutto racchiuso in un cofanetto stampato, 30x24 cm, 464 Pagine, Prima Edizione Condizioni: Nuovo, ancora nel cellophane originale Lingua: Italiano e Inglese ISBN: 978-1-912339-17-4.
