Daniela Comani
In 1990, I started to become interested in the format of the artist book, making my first, one-piece book-object. In the following years I produced several artist books as one-off pieces or with small print runs, both with photos and/or drawings. In 2001 I began to publish artist books in offset, collaborating with several publishers such as Revolver, Corraini Edizioni, Edition Patrick Frey, Archive Books, Humboldt Books, Monroe Books, and Danilo Montanari Editore, among others.
The artist book often becomes an element within my multimedia installations, which engage in a dialogue about history, identity, gender, and language.
