Varianti is a project book conceived entirely by the author, both as regards the choice of images and the text. Guido Guidi, one of the most sophisticated and elegant contemporary italian photographers, visualized this book as a sequence of images unfolding with the natural rhythm of pure, intimate narration, like the simple story told by an album of photographs. All images dated from 1969 to 1974 are reproduced to their original scale in their entirety of light objects, resting on the pages with the marks of manipulation and the passage of time have left upon them. It is full of everyday landscapes, figures, faces and adults and children, trees, skies, streets, houses and factories. Varianti is an acute mental and poetic project.
