Massimo Vitali Livres

Massimo Vitali's large-scale color images apply a topographical clarity and wealth of detail to the rites and rituals of modern leisure. With this volume, he enlarges the scope of his survey and includes beaches and discos from around the world, plus a couple of ski resorts and swimming pools thrown in for good fun. Simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar, his images are of places we've been and people we've played with--but as if seen from outside the body, from an unearthly vantage point. Some combination of Vitali's experience working in film and the 12-to-15-foot platform that he shoots from shifts his still images from documentary realism towards the surreal. Combining the minute detail of view-camera photography with a fascination for the fickle world of appearances, Vitali's aesthetic and subject matter can be compared with the work of the Becher school--but with Vitali, figure and environment cohabit the space of the image, thus lessening the need for a metaphysical reading.

Steidl is committed to publishing the ongoing life’s work of Massimo Vitali, and Entering a New World, collecting images from 2009 to 2018, is the newest book in this series. Following the first two now out-of-print volumes published together as Landscape with Figures / Natural Habitats, 1994–2009 in 2011, Volume 3 presents Vitali’s largescale color images of humans interacting en masse—both consciously and unconsciously—with their environments. Whether relaxing beachside, exploring the ruins of the Roman Forum or navigating a crowded shopping promenade, Vitali’s pictures are topographical celebrations and subtle critiques of our changing habits of leisure. The book furthermore traces an important shift in Vitali’s practice: his move from large-format film to medium-format digital.

After nearly 30 years working in large format photography, Massimo Vitali brings together his 12 “best” photographs in a beautiful volume. The selection of just 12 works was made following many lengthy conversations with collaborators and curators who know his work deeply. The selected works are not necessarily his most well-known pieces, rather each one speaks to a particular moment of his artistic research. The different images unfold in a changing world which is reflected in the landscapes depicted and the human interaction with that landscape. 12 photographs - tipped-in by hand - like 12 months in a year: short stories of a long career.

In Steidl’s ongoing project to catalogue the life’s work of this Italian master of the photographic medium, this slipcased edition brings together the two volumes which encompass all Massimo Vitali’s images to create a collector’s edition. Volume I is the second edition of Landscape with Figures, the award winning book first published in 2004. Published in a marginally smaller format than the original, the production of this new edition utilises new scans to take advantage of the significant technical developments since the first edition was printed. Volume II is a copy of the first edition of the recently published Natural Habitats. The first 1,000 copies of this limited, slipcased edition includes a giant poster which maps the family tree of Vitali’s works, a visual geneology which is also the history of the artist’s work.
