SUAVE MARI MAGNO_ A brief history of the end of the world

by Double Séjour ed. Double Séjour / September 2018

SUAVE MARI MAGNO is published by Double Séjour as part of the exhibition "Decadence", made possible by the patronage of Franklin Azzi.

"... The end of the world has surely already happened. Clashes of civilizations, apocalyptic ruins, depletion of resources, atomic wars...
Ancient fragments and contemporary relics.
Sixteen artists are gathered here in a glass bunker as the last testimony of a foretold disintegration, of a decadence at work.
What will be left of it?
So many forms, materials, symbols and icons testifying as much to fallen civilizations as to our own loss.
Our ruins are our burdens..."
