{"product_id":"album-1969-82","title":"Album 1969–82","description":"\"While organising his archive, Guido Guidi rediscovered negatives and prints\nfrom a prolifically productive period at the beginning of his career. These\nphotographs, made with blackandwhite film and smallformat cameras, captured his\ndaytoday life in the 1970s – his family and friends, his colleagues at the\nUniversity of Architecture in Venice – but also more fragmented and even\nabstract scenes: objects in disarming isolation, shadows, symbols, and deserted\nstreets. High contrast and disorienting framing made many of these images as\ngraphic as they were documentary. Some were marked with the remnants of\ncaptions, halfsmudged notes, and other signs of their lives within previous\nsequences and contexts. Taking up a title he had used for a number of projects\nat that time, including a neverrealised publication with Luigi Ghirri’s Punto e\nVirgola, Guidi constructed a new ‘album’: a fresh engagement with historic work,\ndrawing on the anarchic energy and interests of his youth and the shrewd,\nsensitive instincts of an expert editor. The resulting book brings together the\neveryday with the bizarre, the recognisable with the ambiguous, in a bracingly\ncontemporary new work from a modern master. Album, 1969–82 is the second of\nthree complementary volumes engaging with Guidi’s blackandwhite work from the\nlate 1960s through to the early 1980s, offering luminous insight into the\ndevelopment of his practice and an expanded exploration of photography between\nart and functionality, realism and surrealism, truth and fabrication.\"","brand":"ART AND PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52372409712949,"sku":"9781917651400","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/e3580105-cbcc-4f55-a4e9-ced7f1b57099.png?v=1772038526","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/products\/album-1969-82","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
