A young soldier, a captive princess, witches, wolves and Death walk hand in hand in COSTA AWARD winner Sally Gardner's gothic retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's THE TINDERBOX.

He learns the powers of the tinderbox and the wolves whose master he becomes. But will all the riches in the world bring him the thing he most desires?

Condition: NUOVO. Milano, Silvana Editoriale cm-24x28, pp.96 ill.a colori. brossura copertina figurata a colori. Il volume, a cura di Chiara Spangaro, presenta la selezione dei ritratti eseguiti dall'artista Pietro Costa tra il 2003 e il 2022, nei quali utilizza il sangue e la fotografia come medium. In essi sviluppa la ricerca già intrapresa dalla fine degli anni ottanta nella serie Bloodworks, che indaga il tema dell'identità tra arte e scienza, il concetto di ritratto fisico e biologico, la rappresentazione dell'io tra unicità e comunità. Le opere illustrano il suo lavoro sulla rappresentazione del soggetto singolo, della famiglia e del gruppo e aggiornano la sua pratica artistica apertasi ai ritratti corali nel 2018, quando ha iniziato la serie dei Family Portraits con il primo nucleo di otto soggetti che attraversa tre diverse generazioni. Prefazione di Simome Mangani. The Bloodwork Project, 19892022. A cura di Chiara Spangaro, Simone Mangani, Angelica Frey, Elisa Marani.
