Bookmark #1 Mario Melis

Published by Giselle’s Books, edition of 100, 2021

We asked Mario Melis to collaborate on the very first Giselle’s Books bookmark.

Mario Melis lives and works in Paris. Their practice stems from a mixture of collected images, digital and analog drawings. This expanding archive spans various topics such as Feminity, subcultures, and twisted shapes that they transform into tattoos, objects, paintings, clothes, and books. Mario is also publishing and will soon release the collected poems of Matthias Garcia, Anguilles.

Their bookmark is inspired by traditional bookmarks composed of materials from Mario’s archive, stickers, flowers, and original drawings. Each piece is unique.
