CAMPOSANTO is a 28x28cm single-copy artbook printed on photographic paper, compiling 19 illustrations made in a paintover technique over thermal printed self-made photographs. The introduction reads:
"This compendium of images is a companion to my book, 'The Virgin of the One-Thousand Amperes' (Japanese edition by Magazine Hitori and argentine edition by Editorial Deriva ) , about the war in the town of Camposanto. Whereas in the manga the narratives are clear-cut and self-explanatory, running on a kind of visual language that demands synthesis (after all manga is a form of reading, moving always inexorably forward), here, instead, both detail and texture aim to create a feeling of suspended time, a rich window into fleeting moments belonging to a complex mosaic of physical and moral decay, but also of the familiar coexisting with the uncanny: hopeless men wandering aimlessly like malfunctioning androids, messages that will never be opened, animals as the only trusted companions but also object of cruel experiments, the insisting beauty in the ruined youth of 'street-walkers', serpents crawling between the knees of the faithful. Life itself is a ritual in Camposanto, it offers all but also consumes it all, desperately trying to reach the sky in a burning car drifting under the moon in a black pavement cracked with evil intentions."
