Always read something that will make you
look good if you die in the middle of it.
PJ O’Rourke
Guidi’s body of work frames a discourse –
a visual discourse – that revolves around
what it means to see, and more specifically
what it may mean to offer up an image…
each project, each image, always leads
to new questions that point the way
forward: to keep looking – askance – at
how we look, at our preconditioned way
of seeing the world and its photographic
representation too.

Standing there in the Bermuda grass and baking sun yelling
FUCK at the top of my lungs, I watched the Durango putt putt
putt across the canal and gently come to rest at the other
edge. The lights were flashing, the wipers were going. It was
a confused vehicle. At that point, I figured I better start taking
some pictures because it seemed likely that I would be buying
a very wet, teeth-white, 2011 Dodge Durango.

To shun simulacra and representations, to wrest oneself out of
the theater one has made of one’s life, out of the roles: the lover
or the father, the boss, the king, the conqueror, the pauper, the
little girl or the prostitute, the soothsayer and the great actress…

There’s nothing more hallucinating than Moonshine
and reefers on a hot, sultry summer evening out on
the porch, in the silence of the mountains, with only
the zoom of the bug zapper or the twang of the
hillbillies’ voices rising as they grow merry.

No two of the little houses are the same… carefully proportioned furnishings
here are wildly contradicted with slapdash decorations over there. Everyone
has thought about their buildings, brought materials, laid walls, used power
drills, insulated, glued things, extended the previous tenant’s shed, retro-fitted
a bigger window, added a television antenna. They are strange hybrid buildings,
between tool sheds and dachas, gingerbread houses and orangeries.

Every activity in the relationship with a father allows
“I” to develop, and at the same time destroys “I”.
I find the father everywhere, where I think it’s me.
There is no landscape without father.

Blink. Our eyes open to a familiar world just as it was a moment before: a world
indifferent to our involuntary loss of attention. We know of course that things in
fact have changed. Everything looks the same but nothing actually remains un-
altered. We know this but we cannot detect the minute and subtle transforma-
tions that affect every aspect of reality. Blink. It is the same. Blink. Blink. Blink…
Harvie Ferguson
You sleep between scarlet sheets in the bed of a man who travels week-
ends to be with his wife and children in the Muslim quarter of the Old
City, where Israeli soldiers stand as his wife sells beads with crosses to
Christian Pilgrims on the steps of the Austrian Hospice. Sometimes you
talk while another part of you is in another place saying something else.

It is possible in January to stand in the mountains above the Palestinian
city of Ramallah and watch the rainstorms moving across the Mediter-
ranean towards the shimmering mass of towers that are Tel Aviv…. In the
coming weeks the high desert mountains will change from scorched fer-
rous gold to bright green and purple and back to metallic hues. Some-
where in between everything is possible and everything is watched and
noted, for here on the West Bank of the River Jordan every inch of land is
known, recorded, and potentially a source of conflict.

In the very beginning, when the operator controls and regulates his
time exposure, when in the dark-room the developer is mixed for
detail, breadth, flatness, or contrast, faking has been resorted to.
In fact, every photograph is a fake from start to finish, a purely im-
personal, unmanipulated photograph being practically impossible.
Edward Steichen, Ye Fakers, 1903
Truth is of this world; it is produced in it thanks to manifold
constraints. And it induces in it regulated effects of power.
Every society has its regime of truth, its ‘general politics’ of
truth: that is to say, the kinds of discourse it accepts and makes
function as true or false, the way each of these is sanctioned;
the mechanisms and procedures that are valorised for the ob-
taining of truth; the status of those who are charged with say-
ing what counts as true.

Normally a nymphomaniac is thought of as someone
who can’t get enough and therefore has sex with many
different people. That’s true, of course, if I’m to be hon-
est. I see it precisely as the sum of all these different
sexual experiences. In that way, I have only one lover.
I’m not sure how to explain it.
It’s like a meal put together with different flavours...
