The Threshold
Luigi Ghirri
Visit the website of the archive of Luigi Ghirri
Throughout his career, through photography he has extensively investigated the theme of the threshold and has produced memorable, powerful, simple images with complexity.
Reflect on the theme of the threshold, not just the physical threshold, every threshold.
Is the threshold an entrance, an exit, a door, a window, a frame, something that establishes the boundary between an inside and an outside? What else?
Your room, your neighborhood, your city hide thresholds.
Search for them, find them and photograph them!
Be rigorous in selecting what to keep in and what to leave out of the frame, each element of the image has its own weight and importance. Avoid the superfluous.
