Evasione (Escape)

Edition No. 9999 - Copies 24 - October 2018 printed in Osnago (LC) - Contains a triangular section steel file for iron.

The booklet-work is a pataphysical celebration of the concept of escape, blending matter, words, and art into a poetic object. At its heart lies a real iron file, a symbol of both physical and mental liberation. This tangible tool embodies humanity’s ability to overcome constraints, whether real or imaginary, through a deliberate and creative act. The accompanying phrase, "A free spirit knows well how to escape reality", conveys a philosophy of the absurd, where escape is not mere flight but a means of reinventing the world. The file, humble and concrete, thus becomes a bridge between the practical act of "filing" and the metaphysical yearning for freedom.
The cover, with its graphic minimalism and the title Escape, invites the reader into a meta-rational dimension, where reality is revealed as just one of many possibilities. This creative gesture transforms an ordinary action into an extraordinary act, merging material weight with poetic lightness.
The work embodies pataphysical thought, celebrating the absurd and imaginary solutions to non-existent problems. The file symbolizes the breaking of barriers, whether material or mental, and becomes a statement of absolute autonomy against imposed rules. For the pataphysician, freedom is a state of continuous transformation, a constant process of reinvention.
This playful and irreverent artistic gesture challenges determinism, emphasizing that freedom is not only physical but a way of thinking and redefining the boundaries of reality itself.
