Love and kisses | Exercises in evasion

Love and kisses is one of the examples of how Bruno Munari's imagination could reinvent any cue derived from reality and transform it into a game.

Reinvented and "personalized" postcards through the use of cuts and inserts, and reconstructions with funny side notes. Just follow the braid of pink wire that comes out of the cover to get lost in upside down crypts, pediments of churches soaking in the sea, and Leonardo's Last Supper as the background to a concert.

Love and kisses is part of the Block Notes series, created by Bruno Munari in 1992 for Corraini, an open collection of projects. These included creative examples of how to use art playfully and intelligently. The books in the series are characterized by their grey covers, pocket-size dimensions and the holes on the cover which prompt the reader to "wander in" through to the book itself.
