In a world where the remix culture is at the base of every great
invention, King Kong, with their DIY philosophy did not literally invent
anything, but in fact conceived something fresh, new and original by
opening a window onto a whole new world of images, sensations and
reconstructions. King Kong is a talented team, that despite being
scattered around the world, chose to take on this extraordinary
editorial project. By displaying the work of some of the most creative
minds from around the globe, the book stunningly shows how different
life paths and approaches merge together into a singular perspective of
the streets. These artists are Giorgio Di Salvo, Camilla Donzella,
Panda, Lele Saveri and Sha Ribiero and their project aims to exhibit
personalities and to capture the emotion and clichés of a post-modern,
post-political, and post-artistic first generation. This beautiful
intersection of illustrations and photography is paired with an
insightful introductory text by Federico Sarica. Exhibitions' organizer
Jaguar Shoes Collective dedicated to "double K" an exhibition to
celebrate their collection as "it represented a very real point of
reference for that involuntary community [of the Do It Yourself
culture]."
