In a lengthy conversation with Francesco Zanot, Guido Guidi looks back over his artistic career, from his beginnings in design and his architectural studies, to his subsequent collaboration with some of the world's most famous museums. Author of precise and rational images, the photographer here recounts the genesis of his work and its principal points of reference, broadening the discussion in directions apparently distant and unrelated, ranging from Zen philosophy to Renaissance painting, from Surrealism to contemporary theatre. The book, organized on the basis of key themes in Guidi's investigation, thus unfolds in a series of cross-references and influences, overlaps and quotations, in the conviction that no discipline, and in particular photography, can exist independently of any other. The tone of the discussion is apparently light, marked by the rhythm of memories and brief anecdotes, since, like the rest of his work, the substance of Guidi's words does not lie on the surface, but comes from a remarkable depth.
