In this 2020 Else celebrates 10 years since that unpredictable and adventurous beginning and, above all, celebrates a book in its fifth reprint, 2500 copies printed and bound by hand, by many hands.
Buy now Else was born in 2010 along with a book: Radici. A book created together with a group of foreign people recently arrived in Italy. A book that was an opportunity to share personal and collective stories but also to create an object together by learning a printing technique, screen printing, and the basic rules for making a book. The first thing that Fausta and Simone from Orecchio Acerbo, as founder of the group, invited us to do was to destroy with our hands books destined to “recovered paper” to see how they were made. Thus began our adventure as printers and publishers, backwards, opening, unraveling the pages of an illustrated book. Just as you do with the screen printing that first deconstructs and decomposes into different colors an image, and then sees it recomposed again in print one color at a time.
