A physiognomic essay by Luca Leonelli with a text by Giorgio Celli is about to be edited by Gabriele Mazzotta Editions, Milano.
The work contains 22 engravings printed on ‘Etna‘ handmade paper, 31x42 cm.
It is an anthology of characters telling the story of their life through their own somatic traits.
Their faces were shaped by their past, brought on by their behaviour, their choices, their deeds and accomplishments, the words they uttered, the answers they gave, by what existence has offered them. Each story is told in a non-judgemental fashion.
Their somatic traits do not lead to their behaviour, but are rather resulting from it.
Every character eventually takes responsibility for his/her own face, which is able to tell a great deal about them regardless of their will.
