Chiara Zamboni / woman whose images accompany text In my previous life I was a cookie. Now I am an illustrator who loves coffee, Niki de Saint Phalle and napping.
Concept and art direction for Ultra Violet, an imaginary cookbook featuring the Dro Plum, an endangered fruit that grows in a valley in Northern Italy.
Artwork and visuals for Maschere Maschili, a series of talks on the theme of masculinity. The masks don’t look like traditional, face-shaped masks: instead, they resemble organs of the human body: brains, lungs, liver, stomach. It’s a masculinity that comes from within: it throbs like a heart, digests like a stomach, thinks like a brain. Sometimes, it’s livid like a liver. The masks are a mix of masculine features (bushy eyebrows, big noses, mustache) and very feminine features (rosebud mouth, flushed cheeks, long lashes). They are not stereotypical virile figures, but faces that want to show different sides of masculinity, and the necessary interaction with the world that surrounds them (the mask can see, smell, taste...)
