Starving drawings — Davide Sgambaro

2024

"Starving Drawings" is a limited edition artist’s book, co-published with Panopticon zine. It features a series of risograph prints showcasing scans of pizza boxes taken after meals. Drawn from the artist’s personal archive, these images form a study of the gestures involved in slicing pizza; spontaneous patterns shaped by individual habits, somewhere between obsessive ritual and chaotic impulse.
