Sorry for not keeping the news section here up to date. I’ve been very busy mainly working on my publishing project Kult Books. But the silence is over now, and I’m thrilled to announce the next book by Kult Books, Il Malocchio by Italian photographer Andrea Simonato. In his debut book Simonato depicts the quiet villages of his home region of Vicenza in the Northern Italy as upon a curse of unluckiness called ‘il malocchio’ or ‘the evil eye’ . On his walks through sleeping villages and their empty buildings, dark woods and resting groves Simonato makes extraordinary findings in the seemingly common surroundings. The work echoes both longing and hope, creating a beautiful and poetic, yet mysterious ode to a place called home.
