Issue iI
ORLANDO BY VIRGINIA WOOLF
This issue has been dedicated to that eternal youth, Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. This is an adventure that courageously criss-crosses the centuries from the Sixteenth century to the Twentieth century. Switching from male to female genders, throughout the centuries, Orlando anticipates fluidity and seeks to come to an understanding of themselves and of their deepest nature.
For Woolf, heroism is the acceptance of this third gender, created by the union of Masculine and Feminine. Poetry is that loyal accomplice of always and it helps our hero to stay young and to leave a mark upon the history with the ink from their pen.
In this issue we have interviewed many fascinating artists, like the international designer Patricia Urquiola, the profound visual artist Nadia Kaabi Linke, the famed graphic designer Louise Fili, the Italian tenor Francesco Meli, the plant artist Satoshi Kawamoto and the New York artist Richard Saja.
In this second issue, we have commissioned to Elisa Seitzinger her version of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando.
Their stories are all told through the unusual yet impassioned gaze of our editorial staff and are presented in a quality-imbued edition conceived by the exceedingly high standards of the The World of Dot graphic studio and by the unparalleled quality of the printing, edited by Grafiche Milani.
