About the Book
Neo Primitive is the titled, full collection of art-boards created in Palermo in 2019 during the residency known as Masseria Pernice. Here and there, in the barns and stables, I found moments of masterworks—situational aesthetics, I guess. Working without the net of aesthetics is, of course, a fiction. A Neo Primitive dreams of a way back which is, of course, a way out.

The published works function as Exhibition Novels, a format that offers a catalog of visual art embedded in all manner of narrative invention. The collections of short stories and limited-edition graphic novellas attempt participation in a literary esthetic that sifts through existential conflicts of media-narrative and the representation of the self in historical time. The feature-length novels are immersive and cinematic sagas fusing historical non-fiction with metaphysical invention to advance the notion that every history is a story always told for the first time.
