Présentation de l'éditeur :
A photographic examination of one of Carlo Scarpa’s masterpieces
Since 1995, Italian photographer Guido Guidi has been working
on photographic studies of the Brion family’s memorial vault, designed
by Carlo Scarpa and located in San Vito d'Altivole. Scarpa (1906–1978)
is one of the twentieth century’s most important architects; this
monument was designed in the 1970s, and it is considered one of his most
important works.
Using a large-format camera, Guidi—an admirer of
Scarpa’s work—has observed and examined the burial site at different
times of the day and in different seasons, over a period of many years.
With much patience, and by constantly changing his standpoint and
perspective, Guidi has created remarkable works that highlight the
inventive details of the tomb. Scarpa’s monument can be seen as a clear,
formally strict, yet multifaceted work, whose effects alter depending
on the light and time of day, but which nevertheless remains
consistently impressive all of the time.
