Mi piace essere zoccola
Inmotulus, October 2025
This book is about change, sexual liberation, tenderness, weirdness and freedom of expression. In her illustrations the artist expresses one simple concept with incredible strength: be whoever you want to be and do it how you want. The title translates to “I like to be a slut”.
The book is entirely hand-printed in silkscreen. This technique was fundamental: by calibrating the pigments, it was possible to obtain a saturated blue color with a finish similar to that of the original drawings, all made with enamel markers.

Inmotulus lives and works in Milan.
In my research, I imagine bodies without a defined shape, but in a continuous state of metamorphosis, to explore the different physiognomies a body can take on when it is constantly changing and modifying itself. Like cellular units that are continually being broken down and recomposed give shape to different physiognomies, in a constant vibration. This vibration and flow is what I seek, in drawing, in printing, in the stories I create and in the projects I have collaborated on. The images I produce are the result of the experimental processes through which I experience the sign.
I foreground the theme of transformation, which I consider a key and crucial issue today. Our time and the body through which we experience it are a laboratory and a place for experimentation.Through the free association of forms and the creation of stories in my drawing I work, in constant mutation, for the deconstruction of cultural dynamics in crisis today.
Through the visual datum of the free sign I present this kind of vibrations that, in a month, a year, will be completely different from today. This is also reflected in the pseudonym I use: Inmotulus, reworked from the Latin In motu: movement.
