This artwork appears to be a black-and-white advertisement for an "Illusions?" magic show or performance. The composition features a hand-drawn, sketchy illustration of a person in a dramatic pose, likely a performer or illusionist. The text promotes the magic show's "tricks" and "systems" that are meant to interest the viewer. The overall style and tone suggest a vintage or retro aesthetic, likely from an earlier era.

Costanza Candeloro graduated in 2014 from the Haute école d’art et de design in Geneva (HEAD). The artist now lives and works in Paris.
Costanza Candeloro employs writing as a generative element and research subject. Using deconstruction as a tool of enquiry, texts newly written or appropriated are transformed into words, signs and symbols and then declined in the form of sculptures, installations and performances, evolving into a continuous process of formation.
