Italian photographer (b. 1941) is now represented by Paris’ SAGE gallery.
Inspired by the work of Walker Evans and Lee Friedlander, Guidi explores “open-ended or misunderstood situations”. Towards the end of the sixties, the photographer started “working in black and white, focusing on conceptual photography”. Later in his career, Guidi turned to landscape photography, capturing what he defines as “marginal, peripheral spaces”.
Guidi’s works are in the collections of world-renowned institutions such as Paris’ Centre Pompidou, San Francisco’s SFMoMA or the Brussels’ Foundation A Stichting.
