What pictures can encompass the lives of Bianca Bagnarelli and Andrea De Franco? The two artists tell their story through twenty pictures by other authors, pictures that have reshaped their world or changed their way of looking at it and, of course, of drawing it. Be they famous works or secret tidbits, the meetup will explore how shapes emerge from shapes, and how pictures can alter the way we think about art.

Absolutely Nothing is the title of a novel by Giorgio Vasta, depicting his direct experience with the American landscape. Another name for this meetup may have very well been Disorientation (Spaesamento), title of another work by the author. It could have also been The Nothing Broth (Brodo di niente), first long-form graphic novel by Andrea Bruno. All this to say that we felt a kinship between the works of these two authors, so fundamental to understanding the age we live in. And the most evident convergence of the two is in their representation of the relationship with the landscape, which is never peaceful but alienated, feeding off attrition instead of harmony, and that yet remains essential in order to understand who we are, where we are, why we are.
