Description:
Group of 109 Polaroid photographs made by Aldo Rossi with some presented in the exhibition 'Luigi Ghirri - Aldo Rossi. Things Which Are Only Themselves' held at the CCA in 1996. The photographs represent several scenes from Rossi's travels in different countries: building façades, sacred images, billboards, houses from a Shaker village, baroque façades of churches (in Lecce, Italy), shops, street scenes, lakes, ports, showcases and furniture. Rossi's photography shows the interest he shares with photographer Luigi Ghirri in the belief in the autonomous eye of the photographer and in the potential of that eye to reveal something new to the architect. Ghirri sees in Rossi's Polaroids a "concealed passion, the 'secret' images of the architect, [...] puzzles that are solved with the heart". And according to his definition of photography, "a tangle of monuments, lights, thoughts, objects, moments and metaphors forming the landscape we are searching for in our minds... as would the points of an imaginary compass, which indicates a possible direction".
