Autori: Santi Alleruzzo Curatori: Valerio Morabito, Domenico Cogliandro Progetto grafico: Domenico Cogliandro Carta interna: Fedrigoni Freelife extra white 170g Copertina su cartone 3mm: Fedrigoni Freelife extra white 80g Rilegatura con anelli metallici diametro 25mm Stampa offset: Officine Tipografiche Aiello & Provenzano - Bagheria (PA) Stato di conservazione: Nuovo Dalla prefazione di Valerio Morabito: "Seguendo i percorsi dei segni, scrutando a fondo, si ha la netta sensazione che la materia sia incisa. Ma se di un disegno la cosa che più attrae è il bianco, la strana materia che rimane intrappolata tra le ragnatele dei segni, allora l'ordine della ricerca si ribalta. Alleruzzo, chino sui disegni, costringe i segni ad intrappolare più bianco possibile: conduce la luce ad una paziente sottomissione costruita con frattali in ripetizione."
