Lunario, 1968-1999 by Guido Guidi

A collection of works by Italian photographer Guido Guidi.

This book, named after the traditional American calendar "Old Farmer's Almanac," is a collection of projects that took decades to complete, including several series related to the moon. ing. Created in the late 1960s and early 1970s, these early works dealt with themes of distortion, experimentation, and illusion, a theme Guidi developed further after acquiring a fisheye lens. A woman's face, or something that captures the space between light and shadow, a ball for children to play with, the physical silhouette of the moon, etc. appear repeatedly. In the 1980s, color photographs took the place of bare landscapes like the surface of the moon. This series of works culminated in a partial solar eclipse on August 11, 1999.
