What? This book is ment to be a sensorial exploration of all those small gestures that are somehow essential parts of our routine. They might be almost insignificant actions and sensations, though they unconsciously lead us to a momentary state of pleasure. Why? From time to time human beings, still far from being machines, manage to stop and enjoy themselves. From this perspective idleness stands for an “ornamental function” in the everyday where the perception of time plays a very important role. How? Pleasure is explored through a book which makes the reader aware of actions or sensations that refer and activate his personal sensorial memory. Senses are brought into play by making use of transparencies, overlapping images and typographic elements. There is no particular order nor priority given since every sense is connected to each other. For whom? “Far Niente” offers a small break from the hustle and bustle providing a sustainable way of distract yourself and chill out.
