On the occasion of the first Swiss Photomonth edition, MASI Lugano presents Luigi Ghirri: Viaggi. Photographs 1970–1991. Ghirri was a pioneer whose far-reaching ideas on photography and its role in modern culture remain influential today. The body of work he created in the 1970s and 1980s – a playful and poetic reflection on the medium of photography at a time when it was becoming commonplace in contemporary society – was unrivalled in Europe.
The Swiss Photomonth (30 August – 6 October 2024) will serve as a catalyst for the country’s abundant cultural offerings, and provide the public the chance to explore no fewer than sixty artistic spaces, ranging from world-renowned institutions to emerging venues. It is a unique opportunity to (re)discover the leading figures in photography, as well as the Swiss and international talents of tomorrow.
