An hybrid editorial object based on the language of fashion, utilizing the eponymous exhibition at the MACRO museum as a starting point.
Post Scriptum. A museum forgotten by heart (4 October 2024 – 16 February 2025) is the exhibition at MACRO – Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma to conclude the five years of programming of the project
Museum for Preventive Imagination curated by
Luca Lo Pinto.
The group show spreads throughout the museum's architectural spaces, with works by 37 artists giving rise to an open finale, stimulating new reflections on the museum as a living entity in a state of becoming.

Absalon, Vincenzo Agnetti, Maurizio Altieri,

The documentation of the exhibition avoids the conventions and structure of a traditional catalogue, instead taking the form of a hybrid editorial object composed of images only. Art director and stylist Francesca Cefis has been invited to implement a project based on the editorial language of fashion, utilizing the exhibition and the museum as a starting point. The result is two catalogues, from the perspective of two different authors, photographers
Alassan Diawara and Lukas Wassmann, produced in collaboration with Adidas Originals and Emporio Armani.
Lukas Wassmann (born 1980 in Zurich, lives and works in Zurich and Berlin) is a Swiss
photographer, who started his professional career as a carpenter, and later studied photography in Zurich and Berlin. Lukas received grants to study at the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles in 2009, and in 2013 he won the Swiss Federal Design Award, among others. His practice addresses nature and the intimacy of being, looking at individual and social rituals through projects spanning from photography series,
portraits,
sculpture, woodcraft and carpentry.
