In the late Twenties Franco Grignani, architect, designer, painter and photographer, gave in to the fascination of the photogram – a direct image produced without using a camera. He soon abandoned the technique, but it made an essential contribution to his theory about light and form, and above all about visual perception.
Grignani was one of the great theoreticians of perception, a topic he investigated with a series of experiments in photography: shots taken from unusual points of view, fluo effects, distortion, negative/positive, overprinting.
