This 144-page book brings together more than one hundred black-and-white photographs made by Guido Guidi with small-format cameras between 1969 and 1981. It follows previous collaborations between Guidi and MACK, reflecting the artist's consistent and life-long engagement with bookmaking.
“With ‘Di sguincio’, we discover a set of anti-documents or anachronistic records – stamped, annotated, and sometimes artificially aged – which comment wryly on photography’s claims to truth and reveal the foundations of a lifelong engagement with the possibilities of the medium.”
