An intimate look at the paintings of Giorgio Morandi as seen through the revelatory
photographs of Brigitte Niedermair. This gorgeous volume follows a major exhibition at MAMBO in
Bologna Italy in which artist Brigitte Niedermair explores the concept of horizon through
photographic explorations. Divided into two parts the first series of photographs titled
transition_Giorgio Morandi reflects on the subtlety of Morandi s paintings and objects in the
artist s studio in an attempt to understand the tensions emotions and complexity of his
seemingly simple still lifes. The second series titled are you still there explores the
horizon of the pyramids in Egypt a mysterious boundary between earth and sky between the
visible and invisible. The artist presents her own vision of these monumental structures
revealing images that do not speak of architectural complexity but of spirituality energy and
the quest for the inner and secret horizon that runs through the existence of each of us.
