Cartaburro is a project by Anna Franceschini that stems from the research on a gaze. She delved into an architecture of allusive meanings that make up the imagery of Carlo Mollino. The book stems from Anna Franceschini’s desire to look again at Carlo Mollino’s gaze. She delves into its ambiguities, looking for parallels with her practice: the connections between object and subject, the observed and observer, the staging of bodies and objects and their performativity. The volume follows a research which led the artist to create works showcased between 2018 and 2019 at Almanac’s locations in Turin and London, entered the GAMeC collection in Bergamo. Designed by Joris Kritis, Cartaburro is published by Almanac under the publishing house Verlag Der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König (2024).
