“Santa Claus’ wax matches”, an inflammable tale for voices, sounds and songs, 2002
Vinicio Capossela’s Christmas tales, in a limited edition published by Etcetera Edizioni in 2002, in the Prototype Series. Since the title is about wax matches and the tales are inflammable, the binding has been made with red sandpaper. The design of the internal page often changes with the told facts.
Cover, with sandpaper binding
Title page
Text colour suddenly changes to blue, because the story setting moves into the ocean
Detail (“It’s not better off alone than in bad company”)
Hand crushed page (that is because the werewolf comes into the story)
Dark spread, with a word in white: “glare”
Red sandpaper binding, detail
Text on pentagram (the text talks about the pianos of Lübeck)
