The monograph is the first to cover the life and artistic career of Michele Zaza in systematic fashion. After the introductory essay, which fills in the historical and critical background of his work, the volume documents his production from the 1970s to the present day through a chronology replete with illustrations, unpublished materials, texts and quotations of the artist.
This production ranges from the early sequences of photographs, with their symbolic references to the artist's own body, the figures of his parents, and his family home, to the creation of large installations, characterized by the presence of photographic elements and sculptures with pure and totemic forms that hold a direct dialogue with their architectural setting. In a vision of existence in which everything is interconnected, he aspires in his work to a transcendence of the contingent, immersing the viewer in an environment that has been re-created through images but is at the same time real.

American painter Lara Nickel's life-size installation in homage to Jannis Kounellis' Untitled (12 Horses), one of Arte Povera's most iconic artworks.

The horse has been represented in the history of art by almost every culture in every time period. In 1969, Jannis Kounellis (1936-2017) (a member of the Italian art movement Arte Povera) brought 12 living horses inside a gallery in Rome, creating areinterpreted image of the horse in an art context. Lara Nickel's homage is comprised of 12 life-size, realistic paintings of horses, positioned on the ground and installed perpendicularly to the wall. Presented in this non-traditional way, the images of horses appear to be standing in the room, making the architecture itself the setting of the paintings.
Nickel's 12 Horses - Homage to Jannis Kounellis uses painting as a sculptural intervention, inviting the audience to physically engage with the artwork. Using Kounellis' original piece as an art historical reference, Nickel's paintings are not only portraits of horses but painting-as-illusion, painting-as-object, and painting-as-situation.
