Project Name
Patina
Field Editorial
Year 2024
”Patina” an editorial project about collecting; a wunderkammer that collects, conserves and displays
fascinating entities. Subtracted and enhanced by accumulation, they lose their nature as goods, acquire
new spatial and temporal coordinates, enter into a relationship with each other. They acquire a new
patina.
Issue N°3 is about COLLECTING SOUNDS as a means of survival, a way of holding on to records that may
no longer exist, as once a sound is gone, it is gone forever. Once moving entities, sounds are here
acquired, organised and stored.

Two readings: 'Side A' and 'Side B'.
Both contain four articles, each containing a different
collection story.
The reading aims to be chaotic: the eye bounces from one side of the magazine to
the other as it would do with shelves full of objects
Wunderkammer
(German, ‘wonder chamber’)
By the end of the 16th century the term was virtually synonymous with Kunstkammer. However, it was
originally used in mid-century to describe a room containing a private collection of rare natural history
specimens such as corals, but above all curiosities such as mandrakes, misshapen antlers, or narwhal
tusks. Wunderkammern were predecessors of natural history museums.
Produced during the master's degree in communication design at the Politecnico di Milano. Group project
carried out with: Corbani Federico, Fulghieri Giorgia, Gallegani Greta and Riccio Benedetta
