Comments: OTA-bound buckram flexicover with tipped-in image, 21.5 x 25 cm, 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.

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.
