This photobook has very few texts, only images that follow one another one after the other; each artist has created an articulated project, composing different stories which together make up a volume that exceeds two hundred pages. Lombadelli’s pages are mysterious, printed in silver on black paper; Martegani tells the distant story, perhaps in space perhaps in time, of the city of Persepolis; Cabiati instead inserts a poster followed by some very delicate drawings, all dedicated to details (of sweets) taken from the film Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola; Presicce presents the documentation of a performance and Armin Link gives us the silent landscape of Berlin seen from the top of a desolate building.

About the Artists
Michele Lombardelli (b. 1968, Cremona) is an Italian musician, collector, and editor as well as a visual artist. His work is deeply influenced by the ideas of Samuel Beckett. Lombardelli’s work has been in painting, drawing, sculpture, installations, and graphics all with the aim of investigating Beckett’s concepts such as the disintegration of the self, and incommunicability. His recent bold, large-scale minimalist paintings are an approach to understand his deconstructive attitude of reality.

Vincenzo Cabiati (b. 1954) trained in the studio of his father, a painter who had adhered to realism since the 1940s. At the end of the eighties he moved to Milan where at the Giò Marconi gallery he set up his solo exhibition Feminea and attended the self-managed group of artists in Via Lazzaro Palazzi. He has exhibited in museum spaces, institutions and galleries in Italy and around the world.
