The Circus in the Mist

€33.50

A beautiful book that takes the reader on a walk through a winter's mist in Milan to go visit a circus. The passages through the mist are incredibly done with black ink on transparent pages causing the succeeding images to bleed into each other, imitating the real experience of walking through a mist and immersing the reader in the book.

As described at the beginning of the book: "In winter nature sleeps, and when it dreams the mist appears. Walking in the mist is like wandering through nature's dream: birds make short flights for fear of getting lost, road signs disappear, the traffic moves slowly - no sooner have you seen it than it's gone. The red, green and yellow lights colour the huge mass of mist in the night. Everything becomes unreal."

Arriving at the circus we enter a surreal world where cutouts interact with the reader and again give an immersive experience.

A Munari masterpiece, a work of art in book form.
