Jason Fulford & Bruno Munari — 47 Fotos

Jason Fulford sets his own colour photographs beside black-and-white pictures made by Bruno Munari or for him, in a sequence of 47 images.

This is the first book in I Quaderni di Spazio Munari, a series from Corraini Edizioni. The series gathers research not published before that looks at Munari's work in new ways, starting from what has been shown at Spazio Munari. This volume went with Fotochiacchierata, an exhibition that Fulford curated there in the autumn of 2024.

Fulford's own work rests on placing pictures together so that new meanings appear between them, and here the method yields an unexpected portrait of Munari made out of photographs. Side by side, the pictures carry a sense of lightness and irony, and of looking at the world from ever-changing angles. In a short statement Fulford explains that the two never met but he thinks of Munari as a friend, and that Munari's books, which mixed work and play, inspired him.
