Introduction to the Book "Human Inhuman Vol.2" by Luca Motolese

Riccardo Mantelli · 2024

"Human Inhuman Vol. 2" is not simply a book. It is an archive of fragments, a collection of details that seem invisible yet constantly accompany us, drawing a map of existence. Every word is felt like a trace left on the sand, ready to vanish yet at the same time able to remain, suspended between the ephemeral and the eternal. Luca guides us through this cataloguing of thoughts and invites us to observe the everyday with new eyes, making us rediscover the subtle absurdity hidden behind the ordinary.
In every line, in every fragment, we feel the presence of an inventory of the soul. Unspoken thoughts, forgotten objects, faces that slip away: everything intertwines, creating a mental space in which the real blurs with the surreal. Through this lens, his poetics becomes a collection of details that seem small but tell larger stories, suspended between past, present and future, fixed in their own stillness.
Moving between the lines is like walking through an infinite city, a path that eludes linearity. The reader is immersed in a fractal weave of memories and sensations. Luca places before us a lens able to reveal the hidden spaces between one thought and another, those subtle cracks from which reflection on the human and the inhuman peers out. And so each fragment joins to create a possible story of ourselves and of what we might be.
But beyond this surgical cataloguing of life, an unease emerges, a restless soul. "Human Inhuman" leaves us suspended on the threshold of the indecipherable, pushing us to reflect on the very nature of humanity. And it invites us to ask what it really means to be alive in a world that seems ever more distant from itself.
This poetry, with its oscillation between irony and tragedy, becomes an archive of existence, a map of the spaces between things. Luca's pages lead us into a labyrinth made of everyday epiphanies, where parallel sensations and visions are revealed little by little. His aim is not to explain the world but to make it visible through details that remain suspended, floating in the air, as if waiting to be grasped.
There are no easy answers in these pages. The book pushes us to ask what is left of us, of what it means to be human in an age that seems to have lost the sense of the essential. It leaves us the task of becoming archivists of our own bewilderment, gathering the fragments of a shattered world in an attempt to find a new coherence.
In the end, one question remains, one that concerns us all: what does it mean to exist in a world where shadows and light merge with such ease?
