Signed; Guido Guidi - In Between Cities - 2003

Guido Guidi (born in Cesena in 1941) is one of the most important Italian photographers of contemporary times. His research, started in the Sixties, focuses on the everyday landscape, in particular on the suburbs, minor architecture and the margins of the territory.
Influenced by American visual culture (such as Walker Evans and Robert Frank), Guidi develops a rigorous and contemplative style, often characterized by apparently simple images but rich in temporal and perceptual stratifications. Among his best-known projects are the series devoted to Via Emilia and the Italian landscapes, in which time, light and the transformation of space become the true protagonists of the image.

Contents and project:
The project was born in the historical context immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and documents a long photographic journey through France, Germany, Poland, Russia and Spain, symbolically following an axis that connects Eastern Europe to Santiago de Compostela.
Critical stance:
The book is not only photographic: it includes theoretical essays that address the relationship between photography and the city and the evolution of urban culture between the 19th and 20th centuries; it is therefore both a visual atlas and a critical contribution on the representation of the contemporary landscape.
