LUNARIO GUIDO GUIDI

A project spanning several decades, Guido Guidi's Lunario is named after a traditional almanac and presents several works all related to the moon. The Distortion, experimentation and illusion are the basis of the works Guidi's previous works in the late 1960s and early 1970s, further explored with the fish-eye lens. The physical aspect of the moon resonates throughout the work: in the face of a woman or in a child playing with a ball caught between light and shadow. In the 1980s, Guidi's arid lunar landscapes give way to photographs in color, all of which culminate in the dramatic partial solar eclipse of August 11, 1999. Throughout Lunario, Guido Guidi evokes the moon as a source stylistically and thematically inspired: a symbol of melancholy, madness and of change while constantly reminding us of the ephemeral side of everyday life.
