Published on the occasion of the fifth edition of the Officine Saffi Award, the volume collects the documentation and in-depth view of the exhibition “(un)Known Territories,” featuring the ceramic works of the thirty-two finalist artists selected by an international jury. Experimenting with a new approach in the form of storytelling, each artist is presented through an informal conversation conducted via chat with various professional figures involved at Officine Saffi who contributed to the realization of this edition. The series of conversations, accompanied by a rich collection of images, combines personal and professional themes, allowing the reader to briefly enter the lives and work of the artists, discovering details that would otherwise go unnoticed.
