Guido Guidi: Tracing Time
The exhibition “Col tempo (With Time) , 1956-2024” at MAXXI Museum in Rome, Italy, digs deep into the expansive career of the Italian artist Guido Guidi, who redefined contemporary landscape photography.
Focusing on Guido Guidi’s archive as both a creative hub and a repository of memory, the exhibition unveils over 400 photographs, many previously unseen, alongside archival materials that map the evolution of his vision. Chronologically arranged, it traverses his experimental beginnings, commissioned works, and personal projects spanning nearly seven decades.
Whether capturing everyday landscapes, the architecture of masters, or attempting to transcribe the passing of time in a visual form, the artist’s work encapsulates a profound meditation on seeing and recording, earning him a place as a mentor to generations of photographers.
