Edoardo Manzioni: Hunting Dogs on the Cover of Artribune Magazine #38

publication · 2026-05-05

Edoardo Manzoni, born in 1993, designed the cover for Artribune Magazine #38, drawing inspiration from his grandfather's 'hunting encyclopedias.' Having spent his childhood on a farmhouse near Milan, he perceives it as a realm for discovery. Shifting away from traditional drawing, he now explores nature's remnants, integrating them with technology, such as a monitor showcasing hunting visuals. A self-taught digital artist, he creates collages termed 'notes,' which he considers 'potential sculptures.' His work features found materials, as seen in 'Settembre, 2017' (branch, stirrup, tablet, digital image). Influenced by Richard Tuttle and the radical design movements of the 1970s, Manzoni, a member of the Ditto collective, prioritizes suggestions over analysis in his exhibitions. The interview was conducted by journalist and educator Daniele Perra.
