It’s a book with its own book trailers about an imaginary
alien invasion. Are they real? Are they among us? Or maybe
we are the alien who want to destroy our land and our people? The phobia of the unknown, of terrorists in general,
makes us feel unconfortable and allow our governments to
control anything they want.
The diffusion of fear helps economy in some way.

E’ un libro con il relativo book trailers su un’invasione
immaginaria di alieni. E’ reale? Sono tra noi? Oppure noi
siamo gli alieni e vogliamo distruggere la nostra terra e
la nostra gente? La fobia dell’ignoto, del terrorismo in
generale, ci rende a disagio e permette ai governi di fare
e controllare ciò che vogliono. La diffusione della paura
aiuta l’economia in qualche modo.

“The country around appeared like a continued garden,
and the enclosed fields, which were generally forty feet
square, resembled so many beds of flowers.These fields were
intermingled with woods of half a stang,and the tallest
trees,as I could judge, appeared to be seven feet high.
I viewed the town on my left hand, which looked like the
painted scene of a city in a theatre.” Jonathan Swift
(Gulliver’s Travels, into several remote nations of the
world)

animal origin of the human being and on the ape-man as a
metaphor of the alien and uncivilized.

Flaneur consists of a series of posters showing a metropolitan and mimetic mantle built through the overlapping of
materials and graphisms. All the posters appear like urban
maps drawn through an exploration which is completely free
and not hasty. The images reveal themselves thanks to an
active participation of the reader of the book.

BlisterZine -made in Italy
blisterZine is a project by NASTYNASTY© (Emiliano Biondelli and Valentina Venturi), multimedia artists active
as a duo since 2008.
blisterZine is a collection of little format photographic
works on specific topics of our land: Romagna, where we
live. These monographs are made instinctively, they derive from a strong demand to prove and to document slices
of reality as a reportage of the daily life; even so,
while we’re trying to document, pictures evoke new stories and inevitably images give life to different works
of fiction. The name of this fanzine is from its packaging
which is a transparent envelope.
We work with video to make a sort of a trailer of a story
based on our pictures, but also we can say that videos
for us are complementary to the books.
blisterZine m’eat art, a new publishing project by NASTYNASTY©, is born from the desire to collaborate with
artists and promote the book as art object.
