Giorgia Lupi

Book of Life

2021

I challenged myself on the topic “What Comes First?”, interpreting the theme of Moleskine Foundation unconventional educational programs for 2022.

“From my first word to my first love, from important life achievements to health scares, from losses in my family to break-ups. The final result is a visual archive of my memories, a meditation on the individual threads that weave together to make up my identity. Flipping through the book, I am struck by how every day is rendered the same, one stitch after another—when in actuality, I know that each day has its own identity. The book makes me the question: Who am I now? What has made me, me? And what has led me to where I am?”

This “Book of Life” retraces Lupi’s entire existence – all 14,496 days that led to the creation of this profound and touching piece.
