Tonino Corso´s photographic exhibition entitled "Scoprendo Ghirri" dedicated to the figure of the famous photographer Luigi Ghirri who died prematurely due to a heart attack in 1992, at the age of 49, will be inaugurated at the San Rocco Museum on February 17th.
Originally from a small village in the province of Reggio Emilia, Ghirri began his career as a photographer in 1969, collaborating with numerous artists and intellectuals and essentially his photographic creations concerned various themes such as the natural and artificial image and the natural landscape with all its its ambiguities.
Ghirri was a surveyor by profession and who better than a surveyor could collect images where the shapes took on a particular prominence even if not realistic, because his photographs were often devoid of human figures.
He was also the author of numerous record covers of both classical music and pop music singers such as Lucio Dalla and Gianni Morandi.
With this exhibition, the Trapani photographer Tonino Corso wants to retrace his art, always oriented towards the metaphysical, where human figures, as we were saying, are absent, but never devoid of human intervention.
Luigi Ghirri in a 1989 publication said: "after all, in every visit to places we carry with us this load of what has already been experienced and already seen, but the effort that we are led to make every day is to rediscover a gaze that erases and forgets the ´habit; not so much to see again with different eyes, but for the need to orient ourselves again in space and time".
The inauguration will be at 5.30pm and entry is free.
