Summary:
A stone falls to the Earth. It picks up speed, rolling down the steep side of a mountain until it comes to rest in an empty plain. But the plain won’t remain empty for long: out of the shadows emerge two figures, who immediately start to grapple, using that very stone as a weapon to kill. But those same hands, our human hands, holding the same weight of stone, also shape(...)

Summary:
A stone falls to the Earth. It picks up speed, rolling down the steep side of a mountain until it comes to rest in an empty plain. But the plain won’t remain empty for long: out of the shadows emerge two figures, who immediately start to grapple, using that very stone as a weapon to kill. But those same hands, our human hands, holding the same weight of stone, also shape and forge, chisel and build, creating as they destroy, rendering beauty and violence alike. What is the relationship of those twin impulses? In these pages, artist Alessandaro Sanna uses the shaping force of his hands to explore the seemingly endless, perversely steadfast human capacity for destruction. Unflinchingly tracing humanity’s long history of war, from the havoc of armies on horseback, to the violence of the conquistadores, to the carnage of the First World War, to the ghastly terror of the atomic bomb, and the cruel, shockingly intentional attack on the Twin Towers, Sanna records our compulsion to destroy. The hands mold clay, streak color across a sky, define a world, give beauty to the eye; and yet fires burn, an acrid smell arises, smoke blots out the sun. For what and why?

Summary:
Dans ce cahier à dessiner, on pourra inventer son propre décor autour des personnages créés par Alessandro Sanna en dessinant des meubles dans l’esprit des ‘Ultramobili’ de Dino Gavina. Dino Gavina est une des grands designers italiens du XXe siècle. Dans les années 70, il a travaillé avec des artistes tels que Man Ray, Brancusi et Meret Oppenheim. Les ‘Ultramobili’ sont des meubles qui vont à l’encontre du concept de fonctionnalité et donnent une dimension poétique et surréaliste aux intérieurs. Parmi les plus célèbres dans cet ouvrage : Magritta, de Sebastian Matta, siège en forme de chapeau melon avec une pomme en hommage à Magritte ; Traccia, de Meret Oppenheim, guéridon avec un double piètement en pattes d’oiseau ; Les grands trans-Parents, de Man Ray, miroir poli et sérigraphié. Certains ‘Ultramobili’ sont encore produits de nos jours.

Summary:
Two walls and a roof as a shelter. A home warms the hearts of the ones that live in it and shelters when it rains; it’s the place where one happily returns and where one feels “at home”. Alessandro Sanna’s book re-creates the same atmosphere of warmth and serenity of being at home. Its shape, essential but immediate, appears in each page as starting point of a series of(...)

Summary:
Two walls and a roof as a shelter. A home warms the hearts of the ones that live in it and shelters when it rains; it’s the place where one happily returns and where one feels “at home”. Alessandro Sanna’s book re-creates the same atmosphere of warmth and serenity of being at home. Its shape, essential but immediate, appears in each page as starting point of a series of variations suggested by the image and imagination. The constant black image of home is “fulfilled” by the red illustrations, that create many possible illustrations: "home" turns into a "coffee-maker", or maybe some "trees" or eventually a "kite"...This book is a poem written and drawn right after the earthquake in Abruzzo
