Selected from Guido Guidi's archive by Marcello Galvani, this book presents 94 c olour photographs made with small-format cameras between 1976 and 1981. Mostly u npublished, these images form an ideal link between two phases of Guidi's work t hat are already well known. After the irreverent black and white snapshots of th e early 1970s, this series marks Guidi's progressive shift toward the colour wor k he began to investigate in the early 1980s with a large format 8x10 camera. He re we already see the photographer's growing fascination with his quotidian land scape, including vernacular buildings, ordinary people, and visual accidents, ye t caught with a quick, peripatetic eye that questions the possibility of graspin g the flux of experience and the notion of photographic time. ""Tra l'altro"" – wh ich translates as incidentally, by the way, or among other things – acts as an h istorical moment of transition in Guidi's visual thinking, but also, in his own words, as ""passing observations"" and a way to ""make contact"" with the outside wo rld.
