This exhibition of Guido Guidi’s works ranging from the 60’s to the present is a statement, a statement of admiration of Guido Guidi’s fabulous vision of what is photography.

In an interview with Prof. Antonello Frongia (APERTURE 220, p.51), Guido Guidi claims that he «was interested in evry- thing: the portrait of a person, of a house of a wall (...). No- thing was unimportant ; everything was worthy of attention. »

The man who was trained as an architect and a painter is not attracted by monumental spaces but by «uncodified situations, unclear, open, misunderstood or misconceived», what is be- side, above, below, what is familiar or day-to-day to oursel- ves. As in his view «the spirit lies in simplicity, not in rethoric.»
