Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992) was a pioneer of Italian photography, capable of transforming the everyday landscape into a poetic and conceptual narrative. Born in Scandiano, Emilia-Romagna, Ghirri began his career in the 1970s, exploring the boundary between reality and representation. His vision is distinguished by an intimate and analytical approach, characterized by delicate colors, studied frames and a sensitivity capable of revealing the invisible in the familiar. Through photographs of postcards, signs, shop windows and peripheral landscapes, Ghirri redefined contemporary visual language, posing questions about perception and memory. His work, inspired by conceptual art and Renaissance painting, had a profound impact on international photography. The exhibition at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum celebrates his unique gaze, offering a journey into his refined aesthetic and his ability to transform the banal into wonder.
