Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992) is one of those photographers who you can’t imagine working without colour. Rarely does his work feature human form and when it does it’s often obscured with heads facing away from the photographer or bodies blurred behind smokey glass, rather than rely on the chiaroscuro that is the hallmark of most art photography it concerns itself with symmetry and tone and creates a feeling of both mystery and expanse.
It’s fitting that the introduction to the only English monogram of Ghirri’s work was written by his colour photography peer William Eggleston, as the men’s work shares the ability to see both vibrant beauty and shape in the most mundane and everyday of situations and places.
