Each issue of Orlando is a world of its own: it’s your opportunity to escape from your ordinary daysand live amazing adventures. This issue is guided by the theme of Surrealism, of trompe l’oeil, of illusion and trickery in a wide and diverse range of cultural disciplines.
The novel that guided us throughout the drafting of Orlando’s fourth issue is Lewis Carrol’s masterpieces, “Alice In Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass”.
Alice is the heroine of nonsense: she encounters bizarre and absurd situations but manages to accept them and see their positive sides. We invite you to take her unbelievable optimism as an example.
Among the personalities interviewed in the current issue: the young Swiss chef Marie Robert, the British artist Fiona Banner, the designer Barnaba Fornasetti, the provocative Maurizio Cattelan, the young and talented illustrator Fee Greening, the designer and constructor Tomaso Buzzi and so many others.
