PONGIGLIONE Camilla

For heart’s sake

Italie

2015

Since her childhood, Camilla PONGIGLIONE associates the heart with her father, a cardiologist. When he has a heart attack in November 2012, Camilla becomes aware of the fact that the heart is a complicated machine that moves passions. She starts drawing it under the shape of anatomies, to show its malformations and associates pictures with a metaphorical aim to it. Through this book’s design, she tries to materialize what happened to her father and what happened in her at this moment.
