Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia presents Luigi Ghirri: A series of dreams at the Palazzo dei Musei.

The exhibition, which includes previously unseen material, explores what Ghirri called the “strange and mysterious relationship between sound and image,” focussing on the fundamental role of music in constructing his vision as an artist: from his passion for Bob Dylan to his deep friendship with Lucio Dalla, his extensive record collection and the numerous references to music in his writings.

A soundscape by musician Iosonouncane, Oltre quei monti il mare, is featured one section of the exhibition, establishing a dialogue between Ghirri's “ecology of the gaze” and R. Murray Schafer's “acoustic ecology,” bringing together sound and visual landscapes.

A series of original audio recordings, curated by Giulia Cavaliere, also accompanies the exhibition, featuring insights, dialogues, and interviews with artists such as Angela Baraldi, Gianni Morandi, and Luca Carboni.

Exhibition curated by Ilaria Campioli and Andrea Tinterri.
