Risomania: The new spirit of printing. John Z. Komurki, Luca Bogoni, Luca Bendandi
In English. Hardcover, 360 pages, 26 x 21 x 2.7 cm. Niggli, 2017
The Risograph printer is at the forefront of a new creative explosion. More and more artists and designers around the world are rediscovering this stencil duplicator, sparking a unique and unexpected renaissance in analog printing. And risography is just the most prominent technique in a new wave of cutting-edge contemporary design, which is also reclaiming forgotten technologies such as Gestetner and mimeograph.
At the heart of the volume are fabulous and diverse examples of Riso printing, including postcards, magazines, posters, pamphlets and experimental printed products, all inspiring for the vividness of the colours, unique textures and, above all, the perfectly imperfect authenticity of the risograph.
