It all star ted at the turn of last centur y. Founded in London, boilermag.it was one of the f irst blogs about
contemporar y ar ts and it turned a paper magazine in 2002 with the HQ in Milan. The seminal publication lasted
for two years and produced 7 issues and several events. The circus of life, The great escape, La notte, Eureka!,
We are animals, VIVA! ITALIA , and the Super Neen Flip Book.
We involved several curators and contributors including from Barr y Neuman, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Massimiliano
Gioni, Caroline Corbetta, Michele Robecchi, Andrea Viliani, Alix Browne. The legacy of Boiler is still spreading.
In the past few years many other independent publishers raised their f lag and created their own magazine
or webzine giving to Milan an entirely new look and feel. BOILER/ PORTFOLIO/ PUBLISHING

When their f lagship store opened in 2012 in Corso Venezia 18, Milan, historical Mila Schön fashion brand hosted
the vernissage of Glitches, an ar t project by Tommaso Garner with the collaboration of creative director Bianca Ger vasio.
We designed and published the catalogue book, where the purely creative processes of the ar tist
overlapped the symbolic patterns and archive images of the Maison.
The project was completed by a video-reworking by the same authors and dubbing by sound designer Gadi Sassoon.

A project in par tnership with Uovo and Fondazione Fotograf ia, Overground was born in 2009 from
the collaboration between the contemporar y theatre and per forming ar ts scholars Lucia Amara, Adele Cacciagrano,
Piersandra di Matteo and Tihana Maravić, and the photographer Luca Del Pia.
The project has involved ten per formers to explore the space of a show, focusing mainly on per formance ar t.
The book has a multidisciplinar y approach, in order to per fectly f it the project’s nature; it comprehends
photography, per formance ar t and critical writing. Each domain communicates with the others in its own language,
yet each domain is open to inter ferences and shifts, detachments and overlaps.

I RACCONTI DI CALCIO
Ovvero: come parlare di una cosa che appassiona miliardi di persone
attraverso qualcosa che non appassiona quasi nessuno.
di Tim Small
In appendice a Litania di un arbitro¹ di Thomas Brussig, elegantissima novella sotto forma di confessione di un direttore di gara in crisi, si trova un breve articolo intitolato “Il calcio”. Nell’articolo Brussig descrive un pensiero che tende a formarsi, prima
o poi, nella mente di tutti gli amanti del calcio e della letteratura. Per la precisione, un
pensiero che si forma quando si è costretti a fare un paragone tra la pochezza offerta
dalle opere di “narrativa calcistica” e la roboante, mastodontica ricchezza della narrazione intrinseca nel calcio stesso. “Chi ama veramente il calcio sa che il calcio è autosufficiente,” dice Brussig. “Il calcio non ha bisogno di libri sul calcio... Una storia su
un giovane e povero immigrato che gioca a calcio per ottenere un riconoscimento sociale e che, giunto in finale, nel momento decisivo... No, non funziona. Funzionerebbe
se fosse il racconto di una storia vera—ma, per favore, basta con le storie inventate.”
La citazione mi piacque così tanto che trasformai le ultime tre parole (Le storie
inventate) nel titolo di una rubrica (argomento: tutte le finzioni narrative legate al
calcio, dai libri ai film ai videogiochi ai cartoni animati) che ho curato² nella primavera del 2010. Qualche mese dopo, mi trovo ad aprire l’introduzione a questo volume
riutilizzando questa citazione. Si vede che mi piace davvero tanto, potreste dire voi.
E bravi simpaticoni, risponderei. In realtà la sto utilizzando per riassumere il processo mentale che mi ha portato alla cura di questa collezione. Il primo dubbio me l’ha
messo in testa proprio Brussig, un dubbio riassumibile in una singola parola: perché? Perché provare a unire calcio e narrativa? Il racconto ne sarebbe sempre uscito
bistrattato, il suo raggio d’azione ridotto, il suo potere sterilizzato. A mio modo di
vedere le cose, lo sport è uno dei rari spazi in cui la narrativa—conflitti, personaggi,
trame, colpi di scena, catastrofi, catarsi—si fonde con l’azione corale, ininterrotta,
naturale. E, soprattutto, ogni partita è anche un singolo capitolo che porta avanti
migliaia di complicatissimi archi narrativi maggiori.
In effetti, il paragone narrativo più appropriato non è quello tra la partita e il
racconto, ma quello tra la partita e la puntata di una serie televisiva americana di
qualità³. Un grande episodio di The Wire o Mad Men—proprio come una partita—
funziona sia, 1. dal punto di vista del singolo racconto compiuto, con un inizio e una
fine (il racconto / la partita); che, 2. dal punto di vista del singolo capitolo all’interno
di una stagione di dodici episodi (il racconto come capitolo di una storia più grande /
la partita come parte della giornata), che, 3. dal punto di vista della singola stagione

Si fece pari a modo suo.
A giugno, fu bocciato.
A settembre, ricominciò il campionato, e ne fece tre la prima partita.
Praticamente, non si fermò più.
A metà campionato, dissi a mio padre che poteva pure risparmiarsi l’abbonamento alla TV via cavo per seguire le partite del Bologna; avrebbe fatto molto prima a salire in bicicletta e a sedersi sulle tribune del nostro campo sportivo, se voleva vedere
del buon calcio.
Vincemmo il campionato.
Ma la cosa più bella non fu la vittoria in sé.
La cosa più bella fu che a un certo punto, direi più o meno a metà del girone di
ritorno, quella magia che aveva addosso Dario dilagò nel resto della squadra.
Ecco, una specie di contagio.
Un’epidemia; buona, però.
Ad un tratto ci trascinò con sé; i suoi numeri improvvisi, i suoi passaggi che nessuno poteva immaginare, divennero naturali.
Eravamo un motore ben lubrificato che girava senza alcun tipo di attrito.
Tutto girava e si combinava alla perfezione.
E come succede in un qualsiasi motore, sprigionavano una sorta di calore.
Non so cos’era.
Immagino un misto di sudore, fiato corto e tacchetti che pigiano il terreno.
O forse era semplicemente quella passione fino ad allora tutta sua, custodita nelle
sue gambe, che all’improvviso aveva trovato altri dieci amplificatori, che la irradiavano per il campo.
Ci fu un momento, in cui la nostra squadra del quartiere Corticella, Bologna, Italia, era formata da undici brasiliani.
E quando finivano le partite, prima di rientrare negli spogliatoi, guardavo Dario
sorridere soddisfatto, la sua pelle scura lucidata dalla fatica, e mi stupivo che intorno
a noi ci fossero le tribune oltre la recinzione, i tetti dei palazzi di dietro, il cielo nuvoloso di marzo sulla testa e l’erba rinsecchita sotto i piedi, e non la risacca dell’Oceano
Atlantico, i battiti attutiti dei piedi scalzi sulla sabbia e la spiaggia di Ilheus, Bahia,
che si allunga fino alla fine del mondo.

Since its outset between Milan and New York in 2009, through the publication of a photographic quar terly and of a series
of photobooks distributed in over 20 countries, Fantom has become a reference in the world of contemporar y visual culture.
In 2012, after the publication of 10 issues run by Boiler Corporation, the printing of the magazine was discontinued as the project
progressed to become a curatorial collective and an internet platform that carries on the investigation of the uses and abuses
of photography – as Fantom’s original motto says, while it continues to edit and publish books.

ESSAY
The Materialization
of Absence
CHRISTODOULOS
PANAYIOTOU by
Denis Pernet
Among the various themes that
crisscross the work of Christodoulos Panayiotou (1978, Cyprus),
one in particular seems to relate
to the medium of photography:
the representation of an absent object, and the emotions arising from
that absence. In a number of works,
the materialization of absence is
manifested in redundant documentary gestures relying on the use
of photographs, installations and
videos, as well as slide projections,
performances, posters advertising
the performances and publications
relating to the projects at hand.
Absence, in Panayiotou’s work, is
a plural topic: from the absence of
the beloved in Slow Dance Marathon to the body’s absence in Untitled (2007) and Le fauteuil de
Sarah Bernhardt (2008), and the
absence of the represented object
in Untitled (Act I: The Departure,
Act II: The Island, Act III: The Glorious Return) (2007), The End (2009)
and Wonder Land (2008). These
works revolve around the emotions
associated with the act of recalling and the memory work. The
artist’s practice interrogates our
relationship to the past, and by extension to society, history (with or
without a capital H), and the construction of identity.

MIKA NINAGAWA Liquid Dreams & Acid Bloom
“I would like for the viewer to feel free. It is boring
to see things from only one point of view. Just like
the word “kawaii” which has many meanings,
contradictory messages are hidden under every aspect
of life. Even though everything is destined to disappear,
I take pictures simply because I want them to be
everlasting. These photos were taken by films and then
printed on photographic paper, so they are not digitally
altered. It all comes down to the fact that I like those
colors. The subjects I want to photograph just happen
to be colorful. I do not look for motifs to take a photo
of something colorful. I find things that i want to take
a picture of, and they happen to be colorful. Small
creatures like flowers and gold fishes intrigue me. It is
not that I like them because they are small, but I rarely
take pictures of creatures that are of large size. I tend
to react to the beauty of things that are transformed
by humans’ ego such as pet animals or flowers for
appreciation” – Mika Ninagawa was born in 1972 and is
one of her generation’s most renowned Japanese artists.
Since 1997, she has published photo books and produced
television advertisements, cd covers and a music video,
and directed Sakuran, a feature film which was presented
at the Berlin International Film Festival 2007.

erik kessels is an art director, graphic designer, curator and publisher based
in amsterdam. he’s also a founding partner of communications agency
kesselskramer (kesselskramer.com.) as well as its Dutch headquarters,
kesselskramer runs kk outlet in London. This combined shop, agency
and exhibition space opened in January of 2008, and is located in hoxton
Square (kkoutlet.com.)
kessels started collecting amateur photographs around 10 years ago, around
the time he edited the first issue of the ‘In almost every Picture’ series for
kesselskramer Publishing (kesselskramerpublishing.com.) The agency’s inhouse publisher now features a catalogue including numerous photobooks
and the celebrated magazine Useful Photography.
“a photography collection in itself doesn’t mean anything to me,” kessels
says. “I see the pictures I gather as working material. I use them for publications and exhibitions.” he’s not searching for flawless pieces of art, but
instead finds naivety inspiring, and mistakes worthy of celebration.
“Usually, family pictures are a form of propaganda,” kessels continues. “They
try to ‘sell’ families by making them look as good as possible. I look for errors
that tell the truth and make a picture interesting.”
a selection from kessels’ collection is exhibited at Foam, amsterdam,
under the title Album Beauty, from June 29th to october 14th.

Carefully designed and printed, published in a limited number of copies, and distributed through the Fantom website
- in the most sophisticated ar t and photography bookshops in the world and online - the f irst three titles
in the series have gained critical praise and the f irst two sold out in a few weeks.
Fantombooks #1, Vedove/Widows by Takashi Homma, was curated by Francesco Zanot and designed by Fabrizio

Fantombooks #3, Al Lavoro! by Charlotte Dumas, was curated by Francesco Zanot and designed by Fabrizio Radaelli.
The project is the result of the cooperation between Andrea Botto and Francesco Zanot, respectively director
and curator of the 5th Rapallo Fotograf ia Contemporanea, in 2011 at the Castello di Rapallo, Italy.
Dedicated to examining contemporar y photographic practice, RFC entrusted Dutch photographer Charlotte Dumas
to document the subject of working dogs in the region.
FA NTO M BOO K S / A L L AVO RO!
Charlotte Dumas realizza fotografie di animali. È
questo il soggetto principale che riproducono e il
primo livello di lettura a cui si offrono. Soddisfano alcuni requisiti della cosiddetta fotografia naturalistica,
rivolta all’indagine delle caratteristiche morfologiche
e comportamentali di una specie, ma trasferiscono
questo iniziale riferimento all’interno del sistema
dell’arte in cui si sviluppano e vengono presentate.
Si tratta di un passaggio fondamentale, diretto al superamento della classica compartimentazione della
fotografia per “generi” e “funzioni”. I precedenti più
diretti di questo lavoro, d’altronde, non hanno nulla
a che fare con l’universo dei cani o di altri animali domestici, ma sono da rintracciarsi nella grande tradizione del ritratto sociale. Qui ci sono il rigore progettuale di August Sander, per cui ognuno viene messo
alla stessa distanza dallo stesso obiettivo e nella stessa posizione con lo scopo di ottenere la rappresentazione di una collettività, così come il pathos di Dorothea Lange, che riserva ad ogni soggetto il privilegio di
un rapporto diretto e quello dell’individualità.

“Mi sono sentito come un cane. Allora ho fatto questa
scultura”, ha dichiarato Giacometti dopo avere plasmato il profilo gocciolante del suo quasi-levriero nel 1951.
È paradossale che uno degli autoritratti più riusciti della storia dell’arte non assomigli per nulla al suo autore.
In fotografia, d’altra parte, immortalare un animale significa mettere in pratica ogni volta una dinamica simile
a quella dell’autoritratto, con la differenza che a parteciparvi non è soltanto colui che scatta l’otturatore, ma
alternativamente ciascuno spettatore. Ciò che si legge
nelle espressioni di questi cani, infatti, è soprattutto
una proiezione del nostro pensiero. La loro eloquenza
è, almeno in parte, quella di chi guarda.
22
Charlotte Dumas takes pictures of animals. This is
the principal subject of her photographs and the first
level of reading they offer. They satisfy some of the
requisites of so-called nature photography, which addresses the morphological and behavioural characteristics of a species, but subsequently move within
the art frame of reference where they are developed
and presented. It is a fundamental shift, designed to
overcome the classic pigeonholing of photography
into “genres” and “functions”. On the other hand, the
most direct predecessors of this work have nothing to
do with the world of dogs or other pets, but are to be
found in the great tradition of social portraiture. Here
we find the meticulous planning of August Sander,
who places everyone at the same distance from the
lens and in the same position, with the aim of achieving a portrayal of a community, and the pathos of Dorothea Lange, who gives every subject special treatment entering into a direct relationship with them and
emphasising their individuality.
11
“I felt like a dog. So I made this sculpture”, said Giacometti after modeling the ragged contours of his
almost-greyhound in 1951. It is paradoxical that one of
the most accurate self-portraits in the history of art
does not resemble its artist at all. In photography, on
the other hand, to immortalise an animal means putting into practice a dynamics which resembles that of
the self-portrait, with the difference being that those
who participate are not just those who click the shutter but, by turns, each and every viewer. Indeed, what
you can read in the expressions of these dogs is, above
all, a projection of our thinking. Their eloquence is, at
least in part, the eloquence of those viewing them.
I ritratti di Charlotte Dumas esibiscono una forte carica di sensualità. Reggendosi su un impianto formale
attentamente calibrato, fanno emergere la naturale
armonia di una serie di corpi spontaneamente adagiati di fronte all’obiettivo. È la logica del Manierismo:
regola + licenza = bellezza.
Charlotte Dumas’ portraits contain a great deal of
sensuality. Supported by a carefully balanced formal
structure, they reveal the natural harmony of a series
of bodies which stretch out spontaneously in front of
the lens. It is the logic of Mannerism: rule + licence =
beauty.

Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana is the main no-prof it Association which
promotes Italian fashion through a series of initiatives, corporate events like Milano Fashion week and fairs.
The Association represents all the highest cultural values of Italian Fashion. Its aims is to protect,
co-ordinate and strengthen its image, both in Italy and abroad.
Most of the major Italian brands such as Prada, Gucci, Armani, Versace, Marni,
Costume National, Ermenegildo Zegna, Pucci, Etro are only few of the Association Members.
In 2016, Boiler edited and designed the f irst Annual Repor t on the activites of the Association and their members.
In 2014, Boiler built a new information architecture, ar t directed
all creativity for both web inter face and relative content
(positioning & tone of voice, editorial plan, collaborating with a network of exclusive international contributors).
The main focus of the project was to redesign CNMI web por tal and produce new and engaging content
that could elevate the site to a regular destination for fashion industr y operators and enthusiasts.

Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana asked Boiler Corporation to edit and design the f irst publication

We designed a book made of 160 pages full of beautiful images from fashion shows, presentations, workshops
and off icial meetings, giving signif icant space to the new brands. Through the elaboration of the economic data
on the Italian fashion industr y and the repor t about the Sustainability programme that CNMI is developing,
the publication also aims at forecasting the future of the Italian fashion industr y.

As Carlo Capasa, Chairman of CNMI, stated in his introductor y letter, “It was a ver y impor tant year
for Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, for the fashion sector as a whole and for Milan in par ticular.”
CNMI site has been designed to both fulf ill the need for a viable source of infos for the fashion industr y operators
and an engaging platform for constantly changing editorial content ranging from fashion to ar t, to design to lifestyle topics.
A series of inter views to a number of key industr y people populate the site
similarly to how a magazine would operate.
The quality of the iconography of the CNMI site has been greatly improved by adding illustrations nex t to traditinaly
photography with the contribution of great ar tists.
We curated the CNMI’s off icial Pinterest board, where we published a selection of the best detail shots
from the catwalks of each designer included in the calendar of the seasonal fashion weeks.
Social Media strategy has also been curated by Boiler, via the creation of the off icial Instagram por tal for CNMI
and by establishing the editorial plan & team that has taken the page to be followed by 14,000 users in just 6 months.
Facebook page has also been updated with a fresh series of news completely
integrated with the overall new CNMI digital platform.
In order to communicate all the new contents published on their website and social networks, we created periodical
newsletter (daily during the fashion weeks, weekly and monthly) that CNMI could send to their data base made
of members, journalists, PRs, buyers and audience.

Published by Bompiani in Semptember 2014, Un Mondo Nuovo (A New World) is a book written
by fashion designer Ennio Capasa about his experience in Tokyo, where, while in his twenties, he lived from 1983
to 1986 and worked for Yohji Yamamoto before moving back to Italy to found his own brand
CoSTUME NATIONAL, with his brother Carlo.
In December 2014 unmondonuovo-enniocapasa.com was launched together with an Instagram channel:
an emotional and sensorial moodboard, a weekly update of multimedia contents connected to the chapters
in the book that expanded Capasa’s journey through inspirations and unpublished archive material.
The project was designed and managed by Boiler Corporation.
