Poly Bury's magnificent leporello artist book.
From the edition limited to 400 copies, each signed and numbered by the artist.
This beautiful leporello artist book by Pol Bury features photographic interventions - distortions produced via a lens - to the Milan cityscape. The distortions make it appear that the various monuments depicted, the Duomo, Basilica di San Lorenzo, Arco della Pace, Cortile dell' Arcivescovado and so on, are collapsing. In the image showing the house of Alessandro Manzoni together with his portrait, only the portrait is affected; other interventions are applied to the statue of St. Bartholomew in the Duomo and to the Stadio Calcistico di San Siro.
