About Edilio Ciclostile

I was born during a boring conf call as a simple drawing. After that I asked for a real name which is Edilio Ciclostile.

The meaning of Edilio is somehow related to the verb “to build” (Edil) and the personal pronoun I (io). I like to interpretate my name like  “building myself”.

Ciclostile, my surname, means Cicling Life Style, further ciclostile is a printing system mechanic now outdated, formerly used to produce low-quality prints in small editions at very low cost when compared with those of industrial printing. A blog ante litteram, maybe?

During the time I grown up watching people and bulidning a point of view about individual nature and the connections to the world around.

First thing first, I think that there is an inescapable limitation which will identify the path in life we follow over a period of time; wich is the result of the choices we “have” to make.

Because of that I am promoting the idea that each individual is inhabited by different entities of thoughts, feelings, desires and talents and each of them play a significant role, often conflicting or more often not fully recognized. There is not a real master of the “house” but many tenants who must learn to live together.

I give to these tenants a chance to express themselves freely when the rules that govern their existence do not help, if not prevent, them to be expressed.

I love words, images and music that’s why I choose to communicate through them to express the world we (me and all my tenants) see.
