Studio Guenzani is pleased to present an exhibition of new photographs by Luisa Lambri.

Focusing primarily on photography, Lambri's work is characterized by an engagement with a broad spectrum of subjects revolving around the human condition and its relationship to space.

She mostly concentrates on domestic architecture, but instead of representing entire houses (by architects such as Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Richard Neutra, Oscar Niemeyer, Luis Barragan, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, Rudolph Schindler and Giuseppe Terragni among others), the artist focuses on details, particularly windows, often light, closets or doors. Lambri has stated that her highly poetic abstractions do not represent the actual physical spaces she is photographing but rather introduce the experience of being in the spaces and being defined and reflected by both the physical but also the ideological weight of the structures.

Formally the works present themselves as lyrical and understated abstract compositions of lines, grids, which occasionally allow organic material such a plants or flowers to take over the rigid forms. The minimal photographs reference abstract geometric painting from the early 20th century to evoke situations of transcendence and spirituality. Her recent work has been informed by The Light and Space movement of Southern California, Brazilian Neo-Concrete art as well as Minimalism, which are also frequent references. Recently Lambri photographed the work of Donald Judd and Lygia Clark among others.

Her photographs of Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels in the Utah desert, which will be shown for the first time on this occasion, are part of this ongoing series.

In the exhibition at Studio Guenzani there will also be a photograph of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, which shares a similar approach to and use of space as a reflection of one's identity.

Lambri's work has been recently on view in London as part of the Barbican Center's exhibition Constructing Worlds: Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age. Her photographs have appeared in many group and solo exhibitions around the world.
