Luigi Ghirri - Project Prints: An Adventure in Thinking and Looking Luigi Ghirri began working with conceptual photographic expression in the 1970s, employing the method of creating "maquettes" (models) to conceptualize and construct his series of works. In the 1980s, he pursued a style that allowed him to "enter" the landscape by using larger negatives. Within this, he established a production process called "project prints," which involved cutting out and rearranging contact prints (a series of small prints). This allowed him to visually organize his work and explore compositions through various combinations.
