LE BAL | Guido Guidi. Col Tempo, 1956-2024
Viasaterna is pleased to announce the exhibition
Guido Guidi. Col tempo, 1956–2024, curated by Simona Antonacci, Pippo Ciorra e Antonello Frongia. Exhibition conceived and produced by the MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo in collaboration with LE BAL and Archivio Guido Guidi.
LE BAL pays tribute to Guido Guidi, a pivotal figure in European photography. Since the 1960s, his reflection on the language of the image has given rise to one of the most significant poetics of vision of our time, taking shape—at LE BAL for the first time—in eighteen photographic sequences conceived by the artist in collaboration with the MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome.
The photographic sequences on display unfold as a continuous line of more than two hundred images. They trace the full scope of Guidi’s work, from his black-and-white experiments of the 1960s and 1970s to his later investigations of landscape and architecture, up to his most recent projects. Notebooks, manuscripts, maquettes, and unpublished documents shed light on certain aspects of his method. Structured by the rhythm of the photographs and the intervals between them, the exhibition path—through its rigor and the subtlety of its variations—invites us into the “photographic” core of Guidi’s thinking, into its artistic density and the beauty of its journey.
