L’arciere e il fiume

"L’Arciere e il fiume" is a visual translation of the poem "L’arciere Ha Jo Han uccide un fiume" by Corrado Costa (1929-1991), a poet and artist from Emilia, who is part of Gruppo 63. Gabriele Zagaglia, an illustrator and designer based in Milan, attempts to do visually what the poet does with words, using figurative drawings and color to represent the human and non-human characters of the poem, alternating with the abstraction of the sign and the blank of poetic silence and the space between words.
