Sergio Lovati, MONTAGNA, 2023

28 Euro

2 in stock

Gelo I and II, Montagna and Incantamento are the first of a cycle of short books that arise from each other, independent but interconnected, and which take inspiration from the two contrasting places that define my life.

Montagna is unresolved tension. Everything emerges to sink and re-emerge again in a continuous cycle of generation and transformation.

In the finale a brief sequence of horizontal planes, backdrops that recede into the depths, hint at a different sense of eternity, where nothing has ever changed, and are a prelude to Enchantment.

“To imagine the story as a blooming flower or a series of blossoming.”

“This book was written in offering to the book just out of reach – radiant, waiting.”

(Carole Maso, “Break Every Rule: Essays on Language, Longing, & Moments of Desire”)
