Development of an exhibition concept and production of accompanying materials: poster, brochure, and catalogue.
The project explores the phenomenon of “stream of consciousness” within the associative universe of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time.
The posters, created using CGI techniques, aim to reflect the material connections of Proust’s sensory memories. The event brochure presents the exhibition’s key points — the writer, the object as a sensory gateway, and the structure of memory in In Search of Lost Time.
The exhibition itself examines these themes from multiple perspectives, while the catalogue deepens the discussion through a series of essays exploring memory and consciousness from neurological, linguistic, and phenomenological standpoints.
Poster design:
Development of naming and brand identity concepts for a self-chosen subject.
The project focuses on a global archive of food practices, examining the relationship between food, culture, art, technology, and design.
The original name, Panem et., referenced the Latin phrase “Panem et circenses” to highlight the extension of food into broader cultural practices. It was later replaced due to difficulties in translating its meaning for an international audience. The new name, Eadium, was chosen to evoke both the concept of an edible medium and a space of knowledge (as in spherum, auditorium).
The logo was developed through a manual process using an edible medium (sauce) and is intended for reproduction in various edible materials.

Graphic adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s short story Stazione Balneare:
Mentre se ne occupavano, parlavano; ma il loro discorso venne interrotto come dall’ondata di una marea che saliva; e poi la marea si ritirò e si sentì una di loro dire:
“Non mi è mai interessato di lei, quella leziosa cosina …. A Bert non sono mai interessate le donne grandi …. L’hai visto da quando è tornato? … I suoi occhi … sono così blu … Come piscine … Gert è troppo … Hanno gli stessi occhi …. Li guardi fino in fondo … Hanno gli stessi denti … Ha denti bianchi così belli…. Anche Gert li ha uguali …. Ma i suoi sono un po’ storti … quando sorride …”.
