Lele Saveri’s Luna series contains several separate thematic investigations, including but not limited to femininity, death, figuration (through sculpture and manipulated photographs), adolescence and spirituality. Luna #26 differs slightly from the other works in series; it is slightly less brooding in the nature of the subject matter, which in turn creates a different expression when transferred to indiscriminately, economic xerox printing. The take-away is one of humor and sarcasm, which, while not absent in the literary and pictorial voices of Saveri’s other works, is particularly apparent here. Besides the humor and innocence (relative to the other works in the series), Luna #26 remains consistent to Saveri’s visual language and satisfying juxtapositions of physical and referential meaning.

Luna #26 also contains a call-to-action on the back cover, encased within a cryptic photograph of a television with a sign attached by string. The statement reads: “Don’t ever by intimidated by the disdain or disinterest of the world. Get yourself some type, get yourself some paper, and print it.” Saveri’s interest in distributing juxtaposed, culturally charged imagery is reiterated through this assertion of print-media’s inherently political potential, and his aesthetic decisions take on further significance as colloquial visual stand-ins for dialectical discourse.
