NATURA MORTA

Editorial
Fall, 2025
Instructor: Peter Ahlberg

NATURA MORTA is a conceptual book object that reinterprets Italo Calvino’s Marcovaldo through the lens of "Dark Ecology," juxtaposing romanticized nature with the humorous revolt of The Devil’s Dictionary. Encased in an industrial silver shell, the project employs layered newsprint and glossy magazine paper, and a chemically saturated palette to manifest the violent, artificial intersection of the organic world and urban consumerism.
