A landmark French monograph dedicated to Mario Giacomelli (1925–2000), one of the most singular voices in the history of photography. Self-taught and working with a camera he built himself, Giacomelli transformed the rural landscape of Senigallia into a deeply personal visual language, where memory, time, love, aging, and mortality unfold with extraordinary emotional intensity.
This first edition brings together, for the first time, the photographer's most celebrated series in a comprehensive volume. Printed with the dramatic tonal range that defines his practice, the images embrace stark black-and-white contrasts, dense grain, motion, and abstraction, revealing a photographic vocabulary unlike any other in the medium.
Accompanied by an extensive essay by Ennery Taramelli, the publication stands as one of the most important collaborations between Giacomelli and Contrejour, Claude Nori's influential Parisian publishing house, whose publications helped redefine the landscape of photographic books throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
A definitive reference on one of photography's most visionary masters.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
