“The photographer views the world differently from non-photographers because the photographer wants to – I don’t want to say seal – but appreciate the situation.”

“Italy looked to me like a dystopia whose inhabitants acted as if they were living in heaven. Not all of them, of course, but many. And those many ended up in my pictures. I thought they might be viewed as typical, you know, not universal types, but common enough to be significant in a representative way.”

“As a photographer, my fate is to remain forever hostage to my own gaze, destined to the mission of memory, to the circular motion of nostalgia.”

“My way of photographing is identical to the way I remember, think, dream, hope and imagine. Everything happens through the overlapping of time and space. I use photography in the same way as I use my mind.”

“In short, people are always my most important source of inspiration, and I love Rome.”
The Legacy of Luigi Ghirri
By Marina SPUNTA
Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992) is widely recognized in Italy (and, increasingly, abroad) as a leading photographer who since the 1970s gave a new impetus to Italian photography and a new aesthetic identity to everyday places, while contributing to founding an ‘Italian school of (landscape) photography’.

“Photography is an instrument that creates emotions without the barrier of perfection. It is exactly through imperfection that emotions emerge. I started with polaroid, but my search for emotional strength has been going on also in the digital age. To me, photography is a means to devour reality and capture the magic hidden behind it.”

“The visual expedient is a method to express the overcoming of preconceived visions and to establish a “surprise” visual that produces deeper insight into phenomena. I am interested in showing a second version of reality.

“Photography is an immense, inexhaustible source of ideas, notes, memories – a method to mark time and its passage. It is the sign of the present that leaves traces of itself. In my research, photography is always present as a timely look at the surroundings, thanks to the ability of synthesis in which even a single shot becomes a story.”
