Gabriele Chiapparini and Camilla Marrese: Thinking Like An Island – LENSCRATCH

One must be ambidextrous in opening this beautifully and cleverly crafted monograph about a mysterious island by the creative duo, Gabriele Chiapparini and Camilla Marrese.  Their creation, “Thinking Like an Island” , published by Overlapse, provokes the viewer to engage in a visual and mental jigsaw puzzle with psychological overtones.  The book is a feast

The book is a feast served á la carte or in its entirety depending upon the path you choose.  Its layout consists of four rectangular mini booklets that can (and probably should) be viewed as a group in sequence revealing the mysteries of a lightly inhabited island somewhere off the coast of Italy (or is it?).  You can never be certain of where you are, nor can you be sure of when, but the one certainty is that the island is remote but not remote enough to avoid an Amazon delivery
