Description
Luigi Ghirri's 1978 self-published book, Kodachrome, is a seminal work in the world of photography, marking a significant point in his remarkable oeuvre. Now reissued by MACK on its 20th anniversary, this second edition is a testament to the enduring power of Ghirri's vision. Ghirri's work is a powerful tool for reeducating the viewer's perception of the world. His photographs, presented in a carefully curated format, invite the viewer to explore the intersection of reality and landscape. This edition, published in facsimile of the original, retains the original design sequence, text and image layout, while incorporating new digital images from Ghirri's original film. An accompanying essay by Francesco Zanotti provides a contemporary perspective on the historical impact of Kodachrome, accompanied by translations of the original text into French and German. A small booklet is included, featuring Zanotti's essay, alongside translations of Ghirri's original text. This edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Ghirri's groundbreaking work, now reimagined for the modern era.
