About the productJapanese


A collection of works by Luigi Ghirri, a pioneer of Italian color photography.
The book was published in a limited edition of 500 in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name, curated by artist Matt Connors and held at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York in October 2020.
This large, luxurious book features all 29 works in the same order as they appeared in the actual exhibition.
As Connors states in the introduction, both the exhibition and collection focus on the artist's idea that "reality is constructed of matter, and therefore so are representations of reality."

"Ghirri was deeply versed in the conceptual art that was popular at the time, but his process of rematerialization was something else entirely.
Although he aimed to reconstruct the world in which we live, he took a path that was the polar opposite of the dematerialization strategies employed by his contemporaries.
In his photographs the immaterial becomes material; architectural structures are magically cut, repeated and superimposed, supports and surfaces interact and switch places, textiles blur the distinction between image and surface, landscapes interact with architecture, and music and the spoken word are visualized."

Many of the photographs included in this book are printed at life-size.
Also included are 20 related images acquired from the artist's studio, most of which have never been published before.
With three pieces on the double-page spread and four poster-sized fold-out pages, it is something very special both as a book and as an object.
