"Tearing up a daily newspaper is the only way to free oneself, at a stroke, from thieves, murderers, swindlers, apostles and catastrophes"… This quotation from the poet Guido Ceronetti fits Zakamoto's works perfectly: he manages to transform dramatic headlines, generally set in huge type, into visions full of humour, capable of drawing a smile from us and at times a real laugh.
Introduction by F-Xavier Bernard,to the catalogue of exposition MEDIAMENTE FALSO by M.Zakamoto.

The text of the vintage newspaper

English translation

GAZZETTA DEL POPOLO DELLA SERA — 21 August 1935 — Year XIII. The City Chronicle. The difficulties of an easy trade. What it takes to be a street trader: art and shrewdness, the gift of few — The many ways of petty selling — The barkers in sharp decline. ITALIAN YOUTH IN A FASCIST CLIMATE. The Borgo San Paolo district, renewed and embellished with grand public works promoted by the Regime, which have inspired the initiatives of worthy private builders: in its magnificent park it hosts, as is known, a heliotherapy colony. It is attended by children who there recover their health and restore their strength, first in sun treatment and then in games. Paper hangings, sold directly to the public. Grand-touring self-service, Turin.
