Quintavalle Milan: Feltrinelli, By comparing photography to magic, while originally employing the metaphor that connoted this art in its early days, Ghirri conceives photography as the means of seeing through a hypercodified reality and, paradoxically, of achieving a new naturalness, which, however, carries with it the awareness of being an illusion. The sensations of surprise, disorientation, mystery, or anguish arise from the juxtapositions of objects in his landscapes, where de Chirico frequently portrays the same scene, distorting the point of view or the location of the objects.
