“Paper: A Never-Ending Material,” The Burgo Group Calendar 2019 Illustrated by Emiliano Ponzi

Press release from the issuing company

The Burgo Group calendar 2019 will take us on a never-ending journey, that of paper, a material with endless possibilities, born form a machine that seems to never end, which throughout human history has taken our dreams and stories and propelled them into the future in a never-ending exchange, transforming over and again into new and different products.

Emiliano Ponzi has illustrated six scenes from Gabriella Greison’s Carta: materia infinita (Paper: a never- ending material), published in Cartaceo#01for the Burgo Group and presented last November 18th at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, on the occasion of the BookCity event.

Emiliano Ponzi have used light to illustrate the characters, their discoveries and their encounters with paper, as he describes in his introduction to the calendar: “A powerful sunset, artificial light, both are strong sources which create such clear shadows. At the end of the tale, paper springs to life from the reel, twisting and transforming itself into one of its most noble and common forms, the page of a book.”

A project that proves the growing commitment of the Burgo Group to culture, ideas, information and their dissemination.
The Burgo Group calendar 2019 is printed on coated woodfree paper Respecta 100 Satin 250 g/m2 (internal pages) FSC® certified and SBS board Prisma UP Silk 2sc 400 g/m2 FSC® certified (cover).
