In 1978 Luigi Ghirri self-published his first book, an avant-garde manifesto for the medium of photography and a landmark in his own remarkable oeuvre. Kodachrome has long been out of print and on the 20th anniversary of Ghirri’s death, MACK is proud to publish the second edition. This new edition of Kodachrome is published as a facsimile of the original, adopting the original design, text layout and image sequence, but using new image files scanned from Ghirri’s original film to take advantage of modern technology and printing methods. A small booklet is included with an essay by Francesco Zanot, which offers a contemporary perspective on the historical impact of Kodachrome, alongside French and German translations of the original texts from the book (which were published in English and Italian).

イタリアのカラー写真のパイオニアでもあるLuigi Ghirriが、1978年に自費出版し長い間絶版になっていた同タイトルのセカンド・エディション。作家の没後20周年を記念してMACKより出版。オリジナルイメージを忠実に複写し、テキストレイアウトやイメージの序列もオリジナルのデザインを採用しているが、最新の技術・印刷方法を駆使しGhirriのオリジナルフィルムからスキャンされた、新しいイメージが追加を使用。Francesco Zanotによるエッセイ集付。
