Museum Hanmi will present 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚, a solo exhibition of Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992), a pioneer of Italian color photography, from December 12, 2025, to March 15, 2026, at Museum Hanmi Samcheong. This exhibition is a newly adapted version of the show originally curated by the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum and is held in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Korea to commemorate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Italy. This is the first exhibition to introduce the full scope of Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri’s work to Korean audiences.

Ghirri’s photographs are widely recognized for their subdued pastel tones, quietly deserted street scenes, and expansive empty spaces surrounding everyday objects—elements that create a distinctive sense of emotion and rhythm through restrained composition. His images reflect a visual experiment aimed at seeing familiar scenes in new ways. Ghirri once remarked that “when you look at a landscape as if for the first and last time, you feel as though you belong to every landscape in the world,” perceiving the scene before him not merely as part of reality, but as an image that reveals how we understand the world. He meticulously captured visual cues found in ordinary elements such as billboards, maps, windows, and objects, revealing the hidden order of images embedded in familiar landscapes. This exhibition encompasses major series including Kodachrome, f11, 1/125, Natural Light, Still Life, Italian Landscape, and Identikit, offering a comprehensive view of the new visual sensibility Ghirri forged at the boundary between reality and image.
