Narrating the experience of place: Luigi Ghirri and literature

In this chapter I ... explore the consonance between Ghirri’s photography and a number of writers active in those years who were particularly sensitive to questions of spatiality, visuality and aesthetic experience. Far from suggesting a blanket approach that puts forward similarities at the expense of differences, with my analysis I seek to assess the aesthetic consonance between Ghirri and the selected writers and their contribution to renewing photography, literature and the reflection on place and landscape in the 1980s.
