Għonella. Deconstructing the garment

“A book like this is about documenting the history of the dress, but it is also about living in its memory and the words and images that we use to speak about and imag(in)e our past. Azzopardi collects the fragments of a country’s cultural cosmology and marries them with the contemporary moment. He records every possible variation of his love for the garment.” (Maria Theuma from the Foreword of the book)Photography by Marija Grech;Foreword by MariaTheumaLimited edition, 200 copies, numbered and signedHardbound in fabric<br>100 matte-coated satin pagesGarments and Text by Luke Azzopardi<br>Photography by Marija Grech<br>Foreword note by Maria Theuma<br>Text Edited by Michele Tufigno<br>Copy-editing by Martin Bugelli<br>Set Design by Andrew Borg Wirth
