99 WORDS WITH ALESSANDRO PESSOLI A world fades within one that begins, the sun is a gearwheel that extinguishes itself, dragging a headless body, an old hero from whom flowers are born. Two creatures, a little boy on the back of an invented tiger and my hands, not much more than a small blue tree to lean on. In the future my face is like a flaming skull with a burning smile on which a cartoon worm walks and a little flower sprouts.
