ANIME — The meanings of death
Category: Illustration Poster
Year: 2024
The idea for ANIME exhibition was born to celebrate the mystery and wonder of the city of Naples on the occasion of the first Italian edition of the ED Awards. The aim was wanted to directly relate the power of graphic design with one of the most characteristic traits of Mediterranean and particularly Neapolitan culture, namely the cult of death.
Our poster has a title: Dialogue between giants. It is composed by a geometrically deconstructed portrait of a pensive Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922 —1975), one of the most dazzling Italian intellectuals of the 20th century and a profound lover of the city of Naples, merges with the luminous closing phrase of Les Nourritures Terrestres by André Gide (1869—1951), the French writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947 and testified his love for Naples with a book entitled A Napoli.
