The article announces the exhibition of photographer Guido Guidi's work at Le BAL in Paris, curated by Simona Antonacci, Pippo Ciorra, and Antonello Frongia, with scenography by Cyril Delhomme. The show, titled "Col tempo, 1956-2024," runs from February 20 to May 24, 2026, and was previously presented in a larger version at the MAXXI museum in Rome. Guidi, now 85, is described as the last of a generation of Italian photographers—alongside Luigi Ghirri and Ugo Mulas—who radically redefined photographic language through patient, obstinate reflection on the act of seeing.
This exhibition matters because it brings international attention to Guidi's underrecognized but influential practice, which challenges aesthetic conventions and explores how the camera reveals unexpected perspectives, shadows, and colors in landscapes and architecture. By showcasing his work at a prominent Parisian venue, the show affirms Guidi's place in the canon of contemporary Italian photography and invites a broader audience to engage with his unique, rule-breaking approach to visual perception.
