 | Publishing
Activity in traditional media forms, like publishing, has produced a major
series of publications, for which Fabrica often handles the photography.
Examples include Prayer (a collection of modern prayers), 1000 Extra/Ordinary
objects (the craziest objects of the twentieth century), Kosovars (portraits of
Kosovan refugees in Albanian camps), Lavoratori (black and white photo report
on immigrants in north-eastern Italy), Mail Me (research for the design of a
new mailbox).
