Tourist photography subverted: Luigi Ghirri

An exhibition of rare photographs by the Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri presents work that subverts tourist photography.

The show highlights the abstraction and poetry of his lesser-known images and underlines his mastery of composition.

Seen together, the photographs recast everyday views as studied arrangements, drawing attention to subtle formal and poetic qualities.
