Ghirri, Luigi / Savi, Vittorio
Luigi Ghirri, the undisputed master of Italian contemporary photography, presents his photographic interpretation of an atlas. Using macro photography, Ghirri opts not for blown-up images of geographic details, but instead for a surface overview that groups man-made and natural formations into a system of universally accepted signs. This distinguishing body of work is an intriguing photographic trek into the visual language of geography.
