Subversive holiday snaps: the travels of Luigi Ghirri in pictures
Briefly

Ghirri's exploration of travel encompasses both literal journeys through landscapes and conceptual journeys through various forms of imagery, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
Through "Paesaggi di Cartone", Ghirri captures the artifice behind everyday imagery, critiquing how advertising and commercial landscapes alter our experience with authentic locations.
Lingwood notes that Ghirri's work captures the journey of photography itself and how it frames our understanding of places, reflecting a deeper connection to reality.
Ghirri's silent images represent moments of stillness rather than action, allowing viewers to engage with the subtleties of travel beyond just the experience.
