Speaker’s bio
Libri Finti Clandestini
Libri Finti Clandestini is a cosmopolitan collective that bases its work and research on artist’s books. Researching paper materials in old archives, paper mills and labs and exploring abandoned factories using cameras, telephones and portable scanners, in order to catalog the material found for future projects, its aim is to create books (individually bound by hand, stamped and numbered), ready to be used and drawn in (sketchbook and notebooks), pop up books in a small editions (50, 100 copies), fanzines and unique copies collaborations with artists, always under the sign of “experimentation”.
5X Letterpress
5X Letterpress is a duo of graphic designers and subversive printmakers. They produce prints, exclusively by hand using old printing presses, movable types and every surface that can be inked and pressed. Born in 2018, 5X Letterpress, is characterized by unlimited experimentation and research in the graphic design area. In the last years the collaboration between 5X and LFC has resulted in the creation of limited edition editorial products, handmade with special solutions that are difficult to find in the big publishing industry.
