Photographers

Guido Guidi (born December 26, 1940 in Cesena, Italy) is a seminal Italian photographer whose work for more than four decades has focused on rural and suburban geographies across Italy and Europe. He studied at IUAV Venice and the School of Industrial Design, attending courses by Bruno Zevi, Carlo Scarpa, Luigi Veronesi and Italo Zannier. Guidi began photographing in 1956 and in 1966 began working continuously, developing a practice rooted in the exploration of overlooked or marginal spaces. Since 1989 he has taught photography at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Ravenna and, from 2001, at the IUAV Faculty of Design and Arts in Venice. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Guggenheim, Whitney Museum, Centre Pompidou, the Venice Biennale, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. His major publications include Varianti (1995), A New Map of Italy (2011), Per Strada (2018), In Between Cities, Guardando a Est, and Veramente.
