Nearly fifty years after its inception, Fulvio Ventura's Sagacity sees the light of day. Begun in 1975 and originally scheduled for publication in 1978 by Luigi Ghirri's short-lived Punto e Virgola imprint, it became an open-ended project, Sagacity, Sunstar and Salamandra, fed for four decades by an evolving passion for esoteric philosophy, chance, jazz and the literature of surrealism and mythology. Designed by Jason Fulford and edited and sequenced by Giulia Zorzi of Micamera Milan, who worked with Ventura until his death in 2020, the monograph gathers images made over many years around Europe, spontaneous yet full of intention, cryptic and playful, strikingly cinematic: a cohesive, self-contained psychic world.
