The book collects conversations, papers and interviews born around the second episode of the Atlas dei Corpi research. It frames the Corpo di Napoli monument in the context and matrix of the mystery cults dedicated to Isis and Osiris. The book explores the works with which the artist has made visible the link between the Corpo di Napoli Monument in public space, and some artefacts in the collection of the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The edition developed around the conversation with Chiara Pirozzi “Petrichor: the lymph of the stone” and expanded with a paper by Maria Diletta Pubblico, the introduction by Nicola Ciancio, a paper by Simona Da Pozzo and an interview to Gabriella Russo. In the pdf you can find the index of the book and the introduction “Incubate Images” by Simona Da Pozzo
