Almost 500 pages long, the volume is divided into three main chapters. The first of these brings together essays by prominent writers, curators and artists who examine Chiara Fumai’s work from various perspectives, highlighting its intersections with anarchism, feminism, ideological forms and discourses of power and oppression, the animal rights movement, theater, surrealism and esotericism. The second chapter presents an imposing iconographic apparatus that documents Chiara Fumai’s entire artistic production, from 2007 to 2017, while the third offers an exhaustively detailed chronology and bibliography.

Produced by the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève and the Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato, and supported by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, through its Italian Council program, the book constitutes an essential resource for any in-depth critical study of Chiara Fumai’s work and thought, and proposes a first systematic analysis of her oeuvre.
