While in Kodachrome the protagonist was the photographic image itself, in Colazione sull’Erba the mythical image of nature and home takes centre stage. Hence, Colazione sull’Erba does not set out to be merely a study of suburman green areas, but also ventures to be a moment of analysis and reflection. In this series of photographs, I sought to offer an existential portrait, as well as a series of references to the natural world, to home and its contemporary inhabitants.

This rare exhibition catalogue accompanies the exhibition held from 2 February to 22 February 1975 at the Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna in Modena.
