From the bedroom of a 15-year-old girl who had a poster by Lora Lamm on her wall to a forest in northern Switzerland, via Milan in the 1950s and New York in the 2000s: a journey back and forth in time to come to recognize oneself. Not with our front eyes, but with our back ones. Two women, two illustrators, two different periods, two exhibitions, many emails, four pairs of eyes, or rather eight. A quick glance and a snail’s step.
The volume is part of the “series OILÀ”, edited by Chiara Alessi, which presents the stories of outstanding women of the twentieth century. Women who, on the Italian and international creative scene (from design to fashion, architecture, music, illustration, graphics, photography and literature) distinguished themselves in fields and professions that were always considered the prerogative of men. The books, designed to be read aloud from beginning to end in forty-five minutes — a short journey — are accounts of people presented through a close focus on their biographies, works, private lives, and public achievements.
The graphic design is by Studio Sonnoli.
