futuri maestri
The book is a conversation between a painter and an art historian on the theme of painting and its evolution – with particular reference to landscape painting – in five days of direct confrontation. The publication moves from a clear proposition, that is the past is in fact our future and therefore we must establish a total contemporaneity with the past to build an existence that has a authentically human sense. The book illustration apparatus is made through a selection of details of the works cited in the text, assembled in a way that can generate parallel visual text.

This volume, created in collaboration with the poet Domenico Brancale, originates from some photos about a Flavio de Marco’s work, Breve vita di un quadro, realized near Pieve a Presciano in 2011. The volume develops as a dialogue between the images, ten original drawings by de Marco, and the text by Brancale, created through these images. The book is ultimately a reflection on the place of human being, a reflection on life and death through space and time of art.

stella
A book about an island-that-does-not-exist, a place which would concentrate all possible diversity of the different landscapes of the world. The book invites the reader on a poetic journey through the history of western painting in the era of low-cost airlines and the planet’s new geography as redesigned by the world wide web. It is also a virtual touristic guide for a super-island of consumption and leisure, without financial or human mediation, without limitations of space and time. Stella can be considered the culmination of simulation as topographic art, as seen in Dubai with the creation of the artificial palm islands. It is the amazing surrogate of a world flattened on the horizontality of communication, one that has abandoned the depth of physical perspective.
