La stella dentro (“The star within”) is the official catalog of the 69th edition of the International Festival of Contemporary Music in Venice, the Biennale Musica 2025. This edition, under the artistic direction of Caterina Barbieri, is marked by an openness towards contemporary electronic and electroacoustic music, and understanding music as a possibility for expanding one’s perception.
Thus, the catalog, designed by Tomo Tomo, conceals a colourful, psychedelic star within its austere, sidereal cover, and the object itself changes and expands in the hands of those who leaf through it, expressing the dynamics of sensory expansion. Except for a sixteenth of ‘stellar’ images, the book is printed entirely in a silver spot color with a few elements in black and a large amount of white space. Cold, electronic, rarefied.
The typography, on the other hand, interprets the link with the refined tradition of classical music, with a font inspired by the work of Jean Jannon, Robert Granjon and Philippe Grandjean and other – it’s Store Norske Gangster, designed by Arve Båtevik. Used very often in italics and in very small sizes, it creates an interference with the electronic and intergalactic aesthetics of the catalogue and the ‘Biennale’.
