Surprise is the feeling of anyone who approaches Migliori’s work: for his output, for the variety of his projects, for the continual shifts of language he has brought to his research. But the real surprise lies in the absolute coherence he has kept over so many years: from experiments to figurative images and the boldest new installations, all his work rests on a single language to explore, photography, the essential raw material for creating his visual dreams. To photograph, he has said, means to choose and to transform: in his work matter always turns into something else, a shred of memory for posterity, a question for his contemporaries, a new road to travel. The large retrospective volume gathers 547 images.
