Proletkult

Bisticci

Un romanzo di scienza e di fantasia che nessuno avrebbe mai letto.

Forse Proletkult, romanzo di Wu Ming, poteva essere questo. Invece no: partendo dalla figura di Alexander Bogdanov, autore del romanzo Stella Rossa e fondatore del Proletkul’t, ci si addentra nei meandri della Rivoluzione d’Ottobre, durante la sua gestazione e poco prima delle commemorazioni del suo decennale. Da qui sono partito per i due poster; pensando ad alcune composizioni tipografiche dell’epoca, come quelle di El Lissitzkij, ho utilizzato diversamente alcune lettere, trasformandole in piccole navicelle spaziali. Il poster è stato stampato in due edizioni, rossa e bianca (che no, non sono un’omaggio a Bolscevichi e Menscevichi), da 100 copie ciascuna, numerate, firmate e, ormai, esaurite.

A science fiction novel that no one would ever read.
Perhaps Proletkult, a novel by Wu Ming, could have been this. But no: starting from the figure of Alexander Bogdanov, author of the novel Red Star and founder of Proletku’t, we delve into the intricacies of the Soviet Revolution, during its gestation and shortly before the commemorations of its tenth anniversary. This was my starting point for the two posters; thinking of some typographic compositions of the time, such as those by El Lissitzkij, I used some letters differently, transforming them into small spaceships. The poster was printed in two editions, red and white (which, no, are not a tribute to the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks), with 100 copies each, numbered, signed and now sold out.
