Jetlag Project
Jetlag Project includes Jetlag 1, Jetlag 2 and Jetlag COMBO.
Concept, art direction and design by Franco Cervi.
A series of lucid portraits of individuals caught talking to themselves in their travels around the world. A tangle of sensations and streams of consciousness in the confusion of contemporary life. Radiant minimalist graphics to enclose pieces of life and lives in pieces. Two books unlike any other.

Two board books / 60 cardboard pages each, packed in a clear plexiglass sleeve with an outer printed cardboard box. Four-color printing + special varnished.

"Jet Lag is a specious title for such a forward moving, dynamic book. Jet makes sense, but I doubt that any part of this book lags behind the visual culture. In fact, it gets to the terminal way ahead of time".
Steven Heller, Design Author and Co-Chair MFA Designer as Author - School of Visual Arts, New York
 
"Just a few lines are enough to catch the complexity of a character. Sharp. Uncompromising. Simply outstanding!"
Quintin Leeds, Creative Director - Le Monde
 
"A wild journey. Frantic. Jagged. Beautiful. These faces that feel like people we have seen - perhaps from staring at strangers in a confined space. A hefty volume with its solid pages. A book with its teeth set on edge. Alessandro Gottardo and Franco Cervi have crafted a compelling, beautiful book".
Nanette Bisher, Creative Director - The San Francisco Chronicle
