I developed the illustration project for the book A Casa do Senhor Malaparte published by Circo de Ideias in September 2015.
This book is part of the “Houses With a Name” a collection of books published by Circo de Ideias, "an editorial project that aims to bring together a set of exemplary houses from the 20th century revisited through a literary and imagetic dimension. Despite telling real stories, these books are inhabited by houses that take on a life of their own: houses that are machines, houses that are dreams, houses that are inside and houses that are outside. Houses that are people."
With this book, an opportunity arises for the reinterpretation of the existing architectural heritage and the narratives inherent to its appearance and history, through new textual and meta-textual elements, created by the authors. The challenge I set myself, early on, in this first book of the collection, was to create a personal vision of this narrative, a true story, about the writer Curzio Malaparte and his house in Capri.
