Orizzonti
by Formica Paola
ORIZZONTI is a silent book that tackles one of the most complex and current issues of our day in a poetic, strong and original way: the theme of illegal immigration. The journey by sea of a boy, told through the tight and involving rhythm of the images, is that of many people forced to flee their own country. A story enclosed in a shell that the protagonist will share with one of his peers, on an Italian beach.
Finalist of the 2014 Silent Book Contest, a demanding challenge for the international world of illustration: for the first time the illustrators have been called to participate in a competition for the creation of a \’silent\’ book, evaluated by an important international jury .
