publication · 2026-04-26

Seven new books on art and culture have been released in November 2025, covering topics from Light Art and feminism to AI, photography, and kitsch. Jacqueline Ceresoli's "Donne, luce e libertà" explores female perspectives in Light Art as a practice of emancipation. "Scrittura obliqua. Fotografia e poesia," edited by Davide Rondoni, examines the intersection of photography and poetry through bilingual essays and new works by artists including Luca Campigotto and Linda Fregni Nagler. Claudio Paolucci's "Nati cyborg" argues that generative AI reveals humans as inherently hybrid beings. "Piero Guccione. Nato per la pittura" transcribes a 1993 radio conversation with the painter, featuring contributions from Lorenza Trucchi and Guido Giuffrè. Ilaria Guidantoni's "Il bacio da sfogliare" treats the kiss as a cultural device, with cover art by Omar Galliani. Sofia Mattioli's "La verità, quando accade. Nan Goldin" profiles the photographer as political witness, covering her activism against the Sackler family. Maurizio Cecchetti's "Non serve scomodare gli dèi" analyzes kitsch as a mirror of contemporary excess.
