IL MILIARDARIO
year: 2025
copies: 120
dimensions: 10,5 x 14,8 cm
digital print, risograph print, UV print on scratch-off film – laser engraving on wood, acrylic paint, magnet
The publication was created from the homonymous painting by Pierluigi Scandiuzzi, transformed into an actual scratch card: from banknote icons to the logos of the State Monopolies, every graphic element has been redesigned by the artist. Even the warning text, which usually occupies the back of scratch cards, has been replaced by a short text written by the artist about his relationship with these “colored cards,” which he frequently finds himself holding, somewhere between painting and gambling.
The publication, faithful in both size and structure to a standard scratch card, is itself scratchable: beneath the silver surface lie potentially “winning” numbers, also redesigned by Pierluigi Scandiuzzi. For those who uncover one of the winning combinations, three series of limited-edition risograph prints have been produced; while those who find the complete combination will win an original painting on paper, once again inspired by the world of scratch cards.
Each copy also comes with one of three coins specially designed by Scandiuzzi, which can be used not only to scratch the surface of the publication but also as magnets to hang it on a refrigerator or radiator.
