We are delighted to present a display of works by London-based photographer Hélène Binet in the 'Source' section of Photo London, dedicated to solo projects by artists of significant cultural importance.
Binet has travelled the world, photographing historic and contemporary architecture, as well as works in progress. She is renowned for her exclusive use of film and her preference for black-and-white photography
The display of 30 photographs in Photo London spans Binet’s career, and reveals her visionary sense for architectural space and form. Her subjects range from a 16th century Villa by Andrea Palladio to the Lunuganga Garden in Sri Lanka. We also present a series of Polaroids from Binet’s archive, showing her initial impressions as she explores new spaces. “They are unique, a link to a moment of doubt”, says Binet. Some of these Polaroids will be shown for the first time and include her work with Zumthor and Hadid.
Binet's work has been widely exhibited, including at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the PSA in Shanghai, and the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin. In 2019, she was awarded the Ada Louise Huxtable Prize in recognition of her exceptional contribution to architecture. In 2021 she became the first female photographer to present a major solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

“In Binet’s work there is a sense of the theatrical or the orchestrated: she moves the lines and angles to where she wants them, waits for the main players—shadow and light—to emerge and fall into place, ready for their close-ups.” Emily LaBarge

The Photography Show by AIPAD 2026
22–26 April 2026Preview Day 22 April (invitation only)
Booth A8
Park Avenue Amory

We are excited to announce our participation in AIPAD's Photography Show in New York next week. We will be presenting a selection of works by Mario Cresci, John Gossage, Guido Guidi, Gerry Johansson and Francesco Neri.
Our presentation at the fair is brought together under the title, The Insistent Gaze, which we have borrowed from the Italian curator Paolo Costantini. It describes "a gaze that fixes itself on the intricate tangle of signs… without seeking to resolve them into a unified whole.” This approach uses photographic methods as a conceptual tool to explore and revisit recurring signs, considering “the photographic gaze as a privileged form of questioning.”
Mario Cresci (born 1942 in Italy) is a leading figure in Italian photography. Belonging to an avant-garde generation, his experimental photographic work draws inspiration from Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and industrial design. His work focuses on the nature of photographic language, emphasising the importance of method as a tool for exploring the world.
John Gossage (born 1946 in the United States) is widely regarded as one of the finest American photo book makers of the last 40 years. His first monograph, The Pond (1985), has recently been republished to great acclaim and is considered a classic by photographers and educators alike. Gossage's first UK exhibition, From the Garden to the Darkness, is currently on display at the Large Glass gallery in London.
Guido Guidi (born 1941 in Italy) is a pioneer of new Italian landscape photography. Guidi trained as an architect, painter, and draughtsman—and an abiding interest in perspective and modest architectural forms underpins his photographs. For him, photography is autobiographical, and he uses it to capture subtle changes in familiar environments. His retrospective exhibition, Col tempo, 1954–2024, is currently on display at LE BAL in Paris.
Gerry Johansson (born 1945 in Sweden) is one of the country's most renowned photographers. Working primarily in black and white and favouring the square format, he is attracted to the neglected details of urban spaces. He is renowned for his portrayal of quiet small towns around the world, including those in the USA, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Germany and Spain.
Francesco Neri (born 1982 in Italy) focuses his work on the cultivated landscapes around his hometown of Faenza. He challenges an Italian photographic tradition that, in his view, prioritises landscapes over people. By returning to take portraits of farmers and the landscapes they have cultivated over the decades, Neri gains a deeper understanding of his roots and of the changes that he and the agricultural communities have undergone.

John Gossage: From the Garden to the Darkness
14 Mar —30 May 2026“Photography has always seemed to me a place where formality meets reality, or if you would like to say, opinion finds a place in fact.”
We are delighted to present the first exhibition of American artist John Gossage in the UK.
John Gossage (born 1946) is widely regarded as one of the finest American photobook makers of the last 40 years. His first monograph, The Pond (1985), has recently been republished to great acclaim, and is considered a classic by photographers and educators alike. Lisette Model was his teacher. Discovered at a young age by Leo Castelli, one of his first exhibitions was held alongside Jasper Johns. After leaving Castelli, Gossage devoted himself to creating photobooks. In 2015, the Art Institute of Chicago held a major retrospective of his work.
In From the Garden to the Darkness, we focus on two key works which serve as bookends. Gardens is a portfolio of twenty-four photographs with text excerpts selected by Walter Hopps. It was published by The Hollow Press and Castelli Graphics in 1978. The photographs were made between 1973 and 1977 in Washington, DC, where Gossage lives.
The second is from a series of pictures that photograph the darkness in Berlin 1982 - 86. They are the subject of Gossage’s book Stadt des Schwarz (City of Black) and the heart of his later book Berlin in the Time of the Wall.
Positioned between the bookends are what Gossage calls “photographs with distractions”, pieces made from single, small photographs mounted on board with collage-like elements and handmade marks. “I think of them as assemblages. They are not collages because none of the elements intrude upon the photographic reality”, he says in a conversation with Darius Himes.
The images are from There and Gone (1997), a book in three chapters… the first chapter being the bathing beach in the Mexican border city of Tijuana. The pictures were taken from a distance, using a long telephoto lens and surveillance film. John Gossage: “There’s a lot of illegal border crossing and at the same time it’s the beach of the people of Tijuana. What seemed interesting to me was the photographing of strangers. I could go on the beach and do the standard photojournalist pantomime where you spend a couple of days blending in, getting to know the people, but it’s a lie, an illusion. Given this I decided to stay at a distance and photograph people who didn’t know that they were being photographed. All of the pictures taken of Mexico are done from America, about a quarter mile down the beach. I could just stand there and shoot all day, anything that went on, taking another culture on its own terms.”
Gossage’s photographs have been exhibited and are represented in major public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal; the Bibliothèque National, Paris; the Sprengel Museum Hannover, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, among others. Other notable publications include There and Gone; The Things That Animals Care About; The Romance Industry; Berlin in the Time of the Wall; The Thirty-Two Inch Ruler; Looking up Ben James – A Fable, and Should Nature Change.
In 1987, Gossage started his own publishing imprint, Loosestrife Editions, which has published a number of photographic monographs to great acclaim, including A New Map of Italy, Guido Guidi’s first book published outside of Italy.
The exhibition includes an homage to Gossage by Guidi.

Guido Guidi: A casa
Guest appearance John Gossage
28 Nov 2025—28 Feb 2026A casa is a collection of work that focuses on the famed Italian photographer's home in Ronta, near Cesena. Purchased by Guidi’s father in the 1950s, this house is both a living space and a studio, as well as a meeting place for emerging artists – a space where personal memories and artistic process intertwine, and where his extensive archive is housed.
Fellow artist and bookmaker John Gossage has been a long time friend of Guidi’s. The two have been on many photographic journeys together and for A casa, he has made a small sequence of six books, acknowledging the gift of friendship, featuring photographs taken on visits to Guidi’s house, a homage to an esteemed artist.
Journalist Bartolomeo Sala travelled to Guido Guidi’s home to ask him about this place, the long time setting for his life as well as his approach to photography. An excerpt of their conversation here:
BS In one of your interviews, I read a sentence of yours that felt particularly revealing, “geography is biography.”
For anyone who grew up around here, your house and the landscape that surrounds it are synonymous with the Padan Plain – the sort of third landscape between urban and rural that you and Ghirri first put on the map in Viaggio in Italia. How much did this landscape have an influence on your sensibility and way of photographing?
GG A lot, it influenced me a lot. If you look at certain things, you train your eye on them, then obviously they become [your subject]. Merleau-Ponty used to say, “if you look at a stone, you become the stone.” If you look at certain rocks, they somehow become part of your mental make-up, so you are drawn to observe them again. If you live somewhere else – say, Milan – maybe, there are stones there, too. But there are mostly shop windows, so you spend your days shooting shop windows. You are yourself a shop window, you have digested it and made it your own, so to speak.
Guido Guidi (b. 1941, Cesena) is one of Italy’s most respected photographers, with a career spanning more than five decades. He has mostly focused his lens on rural and suburban geographies close to his home. Guidi has produced over 30 monographs to date, including the recently published ‘Col tempo, 1956–2024’ (MACK), accompanying a comprehensive retrospective currently touring Europe, from the MAXXI, Rome to LE BAL, Paris. Guidi’s photographs are part of International public collections, including the Victoria and AlbertMuseum, London; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Centre Pompidou, Paris; Fondazione SandrettoRe Rebaudengo, Turin and ICCD in Rome; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montréal and San FranciscoMuseum of Modern Art.
John Gossage (b. 1946, Staten Island, New York, USA) lives and works in Washington, D.C. Gossage is known for his nuanced studies of urban and peripheral landscapes. Since the 1960s, his work has examined the interplay between architecture, memory, and social space, often through sequences of black-and-white photographs. Gossage’s publications, including The Pond (1985) and Berlin in the Time of the Wall (2004), are regarded as seminal contributions to the photobook form. His work is held in major collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Bartolomeo Sala is an Italian journalist and editor based in London. His writing has appeared in the Financia Times Weekend Magazine, the Sunday Times, and The New Statesman and he is a regular contributor to Jacobin, and the Brooklyn Rail.

Large Glass (London) and Matèria (Rome) are pleased to announce their joint participation in the 2025 edition of Paris Photo. They will be presenting a shared booth, B28, in the main sector of the fair.
The two galleries are dedicating a focused display of works by the acclaimed Italian artist, Mario Cresci. Both galleries share in representation and commitment to Cresci's exceptional work.
“Cresci is regarded as one of photography’s great experimental artists, writes Josh Lustig in the Financial Times. His work is seeped in the traditions of architecture, design and anthropology, as much as it is in photography. With all of his work, so disparate stylistically, there are multiple conversations taking place. Not only between histories of visual representation, but also between peoples and cultures.”
Alongside this presentation Large Glass will present works by Guido Guidi, Mark Ruwedel and Gerry Johansson. Matèria gallery will present works by Sunil Gupta.
