About Ligatures

Donato Mancini’s debut collection remixes key concepts behind the most radical writing experiments of the twentieth century: the use of linguistic restrictions to generate text; the incorporation of found elements; typographical exploration of the visual properties of letters. Conventions of typography and comic book panels combine with Mancini’s takes on the currently ubiquitous @ symbol to create a lighthearted and learned look at the relationship between art and poetics.
