synopsis
These three volumes encompass the complete evolution of the work of the renowned Italian photographer, Guido Guidi. Made in Sardinia on two trips separated by forty years, the two books not only mark the stylistic development in the work of Guidi but also the historical shifts and changes on the remote island.
The first trip was on Guidi’s honeymoon in 1974, and with a Nikon F and a FIAT 127 he made a series of black and white photographs which reflect the social and political climate of Sardinia in the post-sixties era. The second visit, in 2011, involved 3 cameras – a Hasselblad, a Deardorff 8×10 and a digital Canon – and the now well-known Guidi palette of tender, almost resigned colour.

about Guido Guidi
Guido Guidi is an Italian photographer. A pioneer of the new Italian landscape photography, he focuses on marginal and unspectacular spaces.
"I was born in the countryside. I also love the city, but I have always loved working and being outside the center. I am interested, as I said, in the vernacular."
Extrait d'une biographie sur le site de la Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson : « Après avoir entamé des études d'architectures, il se consacre à la photographie. À partir de 1970, il travaille comme photographe pour le département d'urbanisme de l'université de Venise et se concentre sur le paysage contemporain et ses transformations. Il abandonne alors le noir et blanc et se consacre au travail à la chambre avec un film couleur grand format »
Sa carrière, sur plus de 40 ans, est centrée sur les paysages ruraux et suburbains, en particulier en Italie, mais également en Europe.
Guidi a publié de nombreux livres depuis les années 80. L'éditeur MACK travaille depuis plusieurs années sur les archives de ce photographe et a publié - entre autres - "Préganziol, 1983" (2013), "Veramente" (2014), "Per Strada" (2018), "In Sardegna" et "In Veneto 1984-89" (2019), "Tra l'altro 1976-81" et "Lunario" (2020), "Cinque Viaggi" (2021).
