Paolo Venturas Short Stories are whimsical narratives told through picturestales of love, war, and familywhere things magically appear or disappear, set in an imaginary past of World War II Italy. Much like in silent films, the drama unfolds with no words or captions. For these works, Ventura constructed life-sized sets, in which he situated himself and members of his family (casting his son, wife, and twin brother as actors), in stories that are at once charming and disquieting. While seemingly simple, Venturas vignettes come with larger implications: brothers who encounter each other by surprise on the battlefield, jugglers who appear from above, a man who packs himself into his suitcase, a small-town magician who accidentally makes his son disappear for real, and many others. Here, Ventura has built a world of realistic proportions and actors, in fantastical tales and against painted backdropschallenging notions of what is real and what is make-believe. This book collects the entire series of Venturas Short Stories together for the first time, including three previously unpublished, and offers a glimpse into the artists extraordinary imagination.
