Cristianismo e anarquia
Cover art by Régis Souto for the book by Felipe Souto, a reading of the work of Gianni Vattimo.
Reading the cover
Four marks, one image.
The cross, brushed by hand
The cross is a single dry stroke of black ink, uneven at the edges, with the bristles still showing. It is a mark made by a hand, not a finished emblem.
Red under black
Red paint is pressed onto the paper under and around the cross, thick enough to keep its texture. It reads as blood and as revolt at once, which is where the book places its question.
The cracks at the edges
Black fissures break in from two corners. The book argues against any absolute foundation; on the cover, the ground itself has started to open.
A second mark
A smaller red print sits apart from the cross, lighter, almost a fingerprint. Whatever happened at the centre has left a trace somewhere else.
Felipe Souto reads anarchy not as chaos, but as the refusal of any absolute foundation that would silence other voices.
