Dead plants
Dead Plants is a tabloid-size (279x432 mm) zine of 14 pages, a typographical experiment that depicts the beauty of death, with dead flowers illustrations. The zine contains quotes of poems about death in English and Italian. There's also a typographic experiment using the text from Eveline, a short story inside Dubliners, by James Joyce. Indeed, Dubliners's characters are paralised by money problems, family responsibilities and other social pressures, so they remain imprisoned in a miserable life. At the end, in the attempt to cheer up the reader, if need to, there are some dark-humoured jokes. The back cover contains a quote in German from Die Zürauer Aphorismen by Kafka, a book of metaphysical aphorisms and reflections. The quote talks about how death frees humans from their life, which is a prison.
