The nineteenth volume of Photo Poche, the pocket-format photography series founded and directed by Robert Delpire, is devoted to Mario Giacomelli, the photographer from Senigallia whose work remained deeply rooted in the landscape and people of the Marche region.
The book gathers many of the images that came to define Giacomelli’s visual language: young priests playing in the snow, elderly figures at the edge of life, a child crossing a road rendered almost white through extreme contrast, and aerial landscapes of ploughed fields transformed into abstract, scorched surfaces.
Giacomelli’s photographs are marked by their stark tonal contrasts, graphic compositions, and profound sense of silence. Ordinary people and landscapes become almost dreamlike, suspended between documentary observation and memory.
With an introduction by Alistair Crawford, the volume features the photograph Comme une page de journal on its cover. The book was printed in France by Imprimerie Blanchard and completed on 27 March 1985.
Published as part of Delpire’s influential Photo Poche series, the volume reflects the collection’s original ambition: to make significant photographic work widely accessible through carefully produced, affordable monographs while maintaining a high standard of reproduction.
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.
