Un Sedicesimo 10

Antonio Marras uses a “strong” news image and repeats it creating a series of hypnotic variations by re-elaborating its colours, figures and backgrounds.

The image appears in every page in its objectivity and insistence. However, each one is different from another thanks to Antonio Marras’s overlapped and coloured personal drawing. As a result, the starting image becomes unique and stronger in communicating its message. Crisis of history are mentioned in newspapers almost only on the occasion of serious and violent battles: Antonio Marras aims to direct the readers’ attention to an urgency hidden in everyday life.

Following the multifaceted spirit of variety of Un Sedicesimo, this project faces a social theme in total autonomy from the author’s point of view, without remarks, observations nor debates.
