Notes

Summary: "The Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992) is one of the most significant visual artists of the late twentieth century. This volume - the first scholarly book-length publication on Ghirri in English - introduces his photographic and critical work to a broader audience and positions Ghirri more firmly within global artistic debates. The book breaks new ground by approaching Ghirri's oeuvre from interdisciplinary perspectives, in order to take account of the breadth of his interests, the variety of his projects and the far-reaching impact of his work as a practitioner, writer, theorist and curator, both in the field of photography and beyond. Drawing on different approaches, including art history, theory of photography, literary and cultural studies, architecture, cartography, and place and landscape studies, the essays in the volume show how Ghirri redefined contemporary photography and shaped the 'spatial' or 'landscape' turn in Italy and beyond."-- Provided by publisher
