Description

Massimo Vitali has always made his books as large as possible, to create ample space for the sweeping views of his photography—images which grow as editioned prints to sizes up to 4 meters wide. Yet even at such generous proportions, there are limits to the details we can see in the pages of his books. Much remains impossible to decipher: the figures in the background, the specificity of a gesture or gaze. Distant Close-Ups remedies this predicament, providing both new sight and insight into Vitali’s work. Following Entering a New World. Photographs 2009–2018 (Steidl, 2019), the book comprises classic Vitali images made in 2019–23 of waterside recreation, alongside series of people before Florence’s Duomo and swarms of concertgoers. The photographs are shown as full-page spreads, and after the main sequence again in close-ups from these images—unveiling as yet unseen details of the hundreds, sometimes thousands of figures Vitali captures in a single frame. And now the revelation: the precise moment a diver’s hand breaks the water’s surface; the unconscious movements of dancers; the ambiguous, self-absorbed expression of a swimmer, floating at dusk, her eyes skyward—unaware that Vitali, and now we, can see.
