Hardback. Condition: New. Paolo Ventura's Short Stories are whimsical narratives told through pictures-tales of love, war, and family-where things magically appear or disappear, set in an imaginary past of World War II Italy. Much like in silent films, the drama unfolds with no words or captions. For these works, Ventura constructed life-sized sets, in which he situated himself and members of his family (casting his son, wife, and twin brother as actors), in stories that are at once charming and disquieting. While seemingly simple, Ventura's vignettes come with larger implications: brothers who encounter each other by surprise on the battlefield, jugglers who appear from above, a man who packs himself into his suitcase, a small-town magician who accidently makes his son disappear for real, and many others. Here, Ventura has built a world of realistic proportions and actors, in fantastical tales and against painted backdrops-challenging notions of what is real and what is make-believe. This book collects the entire series of Ventura's Short Stories together for the first time, including three previously unpublished, and offers a glimpse into the artist's extraordinary imagination. Paolo Ventura (born in Milan, 1968) graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan in 1991. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Forma International Center for Photography, Milan; Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles, France; and Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris. He also created a series of works for the Italian pavilion at the 2011 Venice Biennale. His works have been acquired by prominent collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; and the Margulies Collection, Miami. His monographs include War Souvenir (2006), Winter Stories (Aperture and Contrasto, 2009), and The Automaton (2012). …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Come to the world that never sleeps. Csylokia is unique in the Republic of Stars; it has two distinct populations, neither of them originating on Csylokia, living side by side with little friction. In the daytime the Terrans do their work, primarily in the cities, taking care of little things on the behalf of the Arkherians, things like food distribution and development of farming tools. The Arkherians do similar work in the cities but do it in the nighttime. Schools operate on the same schedule, educating Terran children by day and Arkherian children by night. Outside the cities are the farmlands, their scheduling dictated by the rhythm of the crops. It is the Arkherians who handle agriculture, a task the Terrans are thrilled to turn over as their crops have been mutating rapidly.Forty years have passed since the turmoil during the time just before Thomas the Green took over the Council as the quabacutal, Jeket the Blue was turned over to the Terran doctors for healing and the Child of the Sun, Kacendra Wyvern, rejoined her mate and friends on the trading ship, Cepheid Variable, her bonds to Thomas blocked and hidden. Much has happened in that time. Kacendra and Jonathan have raised three children and have grandchildren. Jeket the Blue was released and now works in the Journal Rooms, believed to be withdrawn into a state called 'loner'. Thomas the Green is still the quabacutal but he is an enigma, very withdrawn even in the audience sessions with the People and having bouts of major depression where he is very uncommunicative. But times are beginning to change. Jeket the Blue is no longer a loner, but is still isolated and believes himself without friends. Kacendra and Jonathan are preparing a trip along their old trading routes, stopping at planets they wished they had more time to visit and eventually ending at Csylokia, so Kacendra can reconnect with Thomas. Thomas, knowing of the upcoming visit is more communicative, still prone to depression but not as long nor as deep as he anticipates the return of his bond mate. And, starting to become more active, the Republic of Stars continues down the path from a true Republic to an Empire determined to establish a military base and colony on Csylokia. As time passes the Republic becomes more and more of an annoyance to Thomas the Green and the Council. Thomas the Green, Jeket the Blue and the Child of the Sun. Two are already in darkness trying to find the way to the light, and the Child, once in the light, is falling into the darkness, searching for the lost light. This item is printed on demand.
