MONDOFRAGILE (FRAGILEWORLD) is a dream which has become true. The book together with the itinerary exhibition and this website shows it in a complete form. More then a massive compilation of images MONDOFRAGILE represents an incredible fresco on the contemporary illustration turned on fashion. The 24 artists involved in the project are in constant balance between Japanese forms-images and aesthetic Euro-Western fascination. The chosen works witness the different forms of daily life, of intimate space and inspired gesture; they are images often recollecting a nostalgia of something simple. This Simplicity of Intuition typical of the Japanese culture, becomes an inspiration source for all those involved in the communication field, design or for those simply attracted by the figurative art. Having a look to the images - more then 400 in the book - and dwelling upon the most evocative ones can be a satisfying experience towards the perception of a shared (fragile) world.
