Morte per absentia, Calligraphy and Illustration

Morte per absentia (Death in absentia) is an illustration project I’ve made for the course of Calligraphy, directed by professor Monica Dengo at ISIA of Urbino (PU - IT). Here you can see the final project, which provides an illustration that 

communicates and interacts with a handwritten font, suitably designed for the immage.

Tombe

The southern Cemetery of Tournai (BE) was founded in 1784, a few months after the release of Joseph II’s edict, which prohibited the burial of bodies “in cities and villages”. This necropolis has lived many symbolically charged historical moments; it is a witness to the precious work of stone craftsmen. 

The placement of the tombs inside the cemetery depends on the social class of the citizen and his relatives; little has been left of the burials of the less well-to-do families.

What amazed me the most about this cemetery is the close and indissoluble relationship between the dead bodies and nature. The graves are broken, open, there is ivy everywhere, there are even cats that enter the holes in the family tombs. A gloomy and at the same time fascinating view.

Morte per Absentia

Morte per absentia (Death in absentia) is a series of illustrations I’ve made for the course of Calligraphy, directed by professor Monica Dengo at ISIA of Urbino (PU - IT). The final project will provide an illustration, which will communicate and interact with a specific font, suitably designed for the immage.

Hereunder you may find some basic informations (from Wikipedia) about death in absentia: 

A person may be legally declared dead (declared death in absentia or legal presumption of death) despite the absence of direct proof of the person’s death, such as the finding of remains (a corpse or skeleton) attributable to that person. Such a declaration is typically made when a person has been missing for an extended period of time and in the absence of any evidence that the person is still alive, or after a much shorter period, but where the circumstances surrounding a person’s disappearance overwhelmingly support the belief that the person has died. 

A declaration that a person is dead resembles other forms of preventive adjudication, such as the declaratory judgment. Different jurisdictions have different legal standards for obtaining such a declaration and in some jurisdictions a legal presumption of death may arise after a person has been missing under certain circumstances and a certain amount of time.

It has been such a long time since I haven't posted some art pieces, but it doesn't mean that I haven't had the occasion to work on new illustrations or practice new techniques.

Here is my illustration Breathe no more for the Month of Fear 2017 challenge Breathless.
