The Reggio Emilia Museums Palace hosts an exhibition dedicated to the Reggio Emilia-born photographer Luigi Ghirri. This show takes inspiration from the lessons that Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992) held from 1989 to 1990 at the Reggio Emilia-based University of the Project.
Oriented towards the design dimension and the overall redefinition of the role of those who work in the field of images, the course offered Ghirri the opportunity to address issues that have always been central to his work. The exhibition is therefore an opportunity to reflect not only on the aspects connected to the teaching of the photographic medium, but on the processes of knowledge mediated by images, especially creative ones.
In the lessons, which for Ghirri were more like the drafting of a geographical map than a linear path (sort of a “map in which everyone can find their own way”), the author alternates moments dedicated to the rereading of his own work and the history of images, with others characterized by exercises on different topics.
