Museum Hanmi will present 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨, a solo exhibition of Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992), a poet of European color photography, from December 12, 2025 to March 15, 2026, at Museum Hanmi Samcheong. This exhibition is a reconfiguration of an exhibition originally organized by the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum and is held in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Korea, Italian Cultural Institute in Seoul to commemorate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Italy. It marks the first comprehensive introduction of Ghirri’s artistic practice 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.
