The catalogue describes the journey of this incredible project, spread across all European countries (including the UK before Brexit), lasting 7 years and concluding with the exhibition.
The book is structured in chapters that follow the various country stops.
A conceptual map, which also constitutes the Catalogue Index, opens the book.
Inside the catalogue you will find a poster with images of the exhibition at the Fondazione MACC and a critical text by the director of the museum, Efisio Carbone
The book is a project by ย Ruben Montini
