A NEW WAY OF COMMUNITY AROUND SUSTAINABILITY

IRÆ is an original editorial series for a new way of making community around sustainability, with different protagonists every time - poets, scientists, visionaries, photographers, illustrators, thinkers - and able to offer approaches and contents of various matrix to fathom the contemporary , and answer a question about everyone "is this the end?". IRÆ, in fact, comes from "dies irae": that day of judgment, that end on which so much is being reflected, which involves man, nature and the ecosystem that have been put at risk for some time and systematically.

So how to tell the present and how to intervene on the future?

Special project

A REFLECTION ON THE CONTEMPORARY MEANING OF IMAGES

A reflection of the artist on the contemporary meaning of images and the continuous pollution not only environmental but also visual and thought to which we are subjected every day. With a black veil of ink the artist partially cancels the possibility of seeing things clearly for what they are, forcing us to a more careful analysis of reality and its background.

In the artist's words: "The idea of reprinting the IRÆ magazine entirely in black arises from the series of works on paper" Black Pages "part of the Monuments of the Memory series, made on the basis of antique prints and pages of daily newspapers in which the image and the text are erased by immersion in exhausted engine oil. Observing closely the underlying words and images emerge from the black, as memories, faces and traces of our past emerge from our memory ... "(Paolo Canevari)
