The Complete Essays 1973–1991 gathers Luigi Ghirri’s insightful and imaginative reflections on photography. These short texts unfold from his own artistic practice, touching on identity, memory, time, and the mysterious act of seeing. With curiosity and warmth, Ghirri connects photography to music, literature, film, and everyday life — referencing figures as diverse as Prince, Eggleston, Cézanne, and Pessoa.
Together, the essays form a vivid portrait of one of Italy’s most influential photographers, offering both a personal philosophy and a fresh way of looking at the world. Ghirri’s voice — gentle, playful, and deeply thoughtful — continues to shape contemporary photography today.
