SAKURA LUST

Sakura Lust is the first monograph by Casper Kent. Shot over the course of a year – from the arrival of the first cherry blossom through the Japanese Autumn – during nights spent in ryokans and love hotels throughout Japan.

COME TU MI VUOI COME IO MI VOGLIO

12 illustrators 12 erotic images for a book that puts the joy of love back at the center without false modesty. An all-female vision on Eros. A book of liberation in an age in which the chronicle brings us back false morals full of violence among feminicides, mass violence on women, publications of private hard videos in social networks, an era in which ancient frustrations are poured on the woman's body and reaffirmations of male power.

REVERSO

Reverso by Manuel Ibáñez is the diary of gazes of a flâneur who strolls, observes and records a nearby environment in which characters appear and disappear, nothing is what it seems and we often have an impression of ordinariness shrouded in mystery. Manuel tirelessly records the light and colour that subvert reality, filling the latter with hidden meanings. In a journey through his city over the years the artist explores the uniqueness of
