The complete story of the work
Translated from the Italian original.
Ospiti della vita is the theme proposed to Remo Bodei, which gave rise to a philosophical reflection on our time and our relationship with things. The essay, written for Numa in March 2006, is published in a small volume in a limited print run, made by hand according to the precious techniques of art publishing.
For this book Michele De Lucchi and Giuseppe Rivadossi have designed two cases in a limited edition, made in leather and aluminium and in wood, which, together with the book, will become part of the Limited Edition 2006 collections by Numa.
Remo Bodei was Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Los Angeles, having long taught at the Scuola Normale Superiore and at the University of Pisa. He first worked on classical German idealism and aesthetics, more recently on theories of individuality and on logical and temporal anomalies.
Material:
- Aluminium and “full-grain” leather
- Fine paper from the Sicars paper mill in Catania
Stages of production:
- The satin-finished aluminium plates are fixed with special glues onto the “full-grain leather” structure.
