In 1978 Luigi Ghirri self-published his first book, an avant-garde manifesto for the medium of photography and a landmark in his own remarkable oeuvre. Part amateur photo-album, Ghirri presents his surroundings in tightly cropped images, making photographs of photographs and recording the Italian landscape through it’s adverts, postcards, potted plants, walls, windows, and people.

Long out of print and on the 20th anniversary of Ghirri’s death, MACK published the second edition. Now in its fifth reprint this volume is the first print of the second edition.
