Pablo Bernasconi
Pablo Bernasconi uses mixed-media art to consider what “forever” might mean. The book moves through an imaginative range of images and subjects, including devices linked to the sun and moon, dancers, desert islands, empty bird cages, firefighters, physics, and Shakespeare. These varied elements form an open-ended exploration of infinity, where visual ideas and questions about the concept appear side by side.
