Linus • Hemingway a <strong>Milano</strong><br />

Stampa fotografica in bianco e nero applicata su<br />

specchio François Ghost (design Philippe Starck) con<br />

cornice bianca. Misure: 88 cm x 111 cm.<br />

Era da tempo che avevo in mente di fare qualcosa che fosse<br />

legata alla strada vicino a casa mia, in zona San Siro. Si<br />

tratta della via che porta allo stadio, la stessa raccontata<br />

ne ‘I quarantanove racconti’ di Ernest Hemingway, quando<br />

ricorda la corsa con suo padre. Dunque, che dovessi<br />

correre era scritto nel destino... <strong>Kartell</strong> mi ha offerto l’occasione<br />

di poter finalmente inventarmi qualcosa, e ho scelto<br />

di fare questa foto, riportando uno stralcio del racconto ‘Il<br />

mio vecchio’. Un omaggio allo scrittore e alla mia infanzia.<br />

White-framed black and white photographic print<br />

applied to the François Ghost mirror (design Philippe<br />

Starck). Dimensions: 88 cm x 111 cm.<br />

I had been thinking for some time about doing something<br />

on the street near my home in the San Siro area. It’s the road<br />

that goes to the stadium, the same one you find in Ernest<br />

Hemingway’s “The First Forty-Nine Stories” when he writes<br />

about racing with his father. Therefore, if I were meant to race,<br />

the writing was on the wall... <strong>Kartell</strong> offered me the chance<br />

to be able to finally invent something for myself and I chose<br />

to take this photograph including an excerpt from the tale<br />

“My Old Man”. A tribute to the writer and to my childhood<br />
