Puglia. Tra albe e tramonti
Luigi Ghirri
Published by Mack Books, London, 2022, 288 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 22.5 × 25.5 cm, English/Italian
Price: €65

Puglia. Tra albe e tramonti offers an account of Luigi Ghirri’s relationship with Puglia — a distinctive region, which was pivotal in establishing Ghirri’s career and continued to inspire him throughout it. A first visit in 1982 introduced Ghirri to Puglia’s whitewashed streets, luminescent nights, doorways and arches, potted cacti, funfairs, and beaches, as well as a group of artists, critics, and curators who would become his close friends and collaborators. Over the following decade, Ghirri returned to the area almost every year, photographing, exhibiting, and deepening his understanding of its subtle terrain.
