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.

Price: €22

Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992) started writing about photography from the moment he became a photographer: for his own publications, for Italian magazines and newspapers, as well as private reflections committed to paper, where his thoughts would settle and then often depart in new directions. Born in Scandiano in 1943, Luigi Ghirri spent his working life in the Emilia Romagna region, where he produced one of the most open and layered bodies of work in the history of photography.

In 2002, Lana Kaiser became well known during an appearance on the first season of the German version of the Idol television franchise. Born in 1985, she went by her birth name Daniel Küblböck on the show and at only 17 years old she polarized the audience with her androgynous appearance and open bisexuality. On September 9th 2018, Lana disappeared from a cruise ship on her way to North America. Most media outlets and the majority of the public didn’t consider calling her by her chosen name, Lana Kaiser. Philipp Gufler’s zine and his video installation of the same title is a personal portrait of the singer and entertainer.
