an interview with makkox (in english):
sanday 13 october 2019
Makkox tells himself: "I would like to make a film about right-wing cartoonists"
The designer of Propaganda Live today at 18 (ITALIAN TIME) is a guest of the Settimo Torinese Innovation Festival: "I have a nostalgic approach to life but I love technology: I want every new product"
TORINO. Diego Bianchi in transmission calls him "genius", and indeed many of Makkox's intuitions, in the century Marco Dambrosio, smell of genius. His pen and his acumen are among the strengths of Propaganda Live (and before of Gazebo), broadcast every Friday evening on La7 and his designs enrich the production of various newspapers, online and on paper. Today at 6 pm he will be a guest of the Settimo Torinese Festival of Innovation and Science. An opportunity to talk about oneself in an unusual context such as the Archimedes Mulimediale Library.
Makkox, the theme of the 2019 edition is time. What is your relationship with the everyday and with the passing of time?
"I am one of those who look backwards. The beautiful things are only those that belong to the past, I have a nostalgic approach to life. At the same time, however, I love technology, when something new comes out I have to have it: from video games to 3D glasses. In everyday life, even if I look messy, I am very precise, attentive to schedules and deliveries. Do you know how many more talented than me but with poor respect for punctuality now make the madonnari? "
No problem with advancing age?
«But no, I don't look in the mirror with a feeling of death and depression. Although I am impressed by the scene of the tube by Nanni Moretti in April, more than anything else because I love the transformation of the data into images. It is the same mechanism that made me show with a design that if all men stood side by side, they would occupy 10 billion square meters, the equivalent of the surface of Basilicata. Do you understand how much space there is on Earth? How do you talk about an invasion? "
In a recent interview, he said he was angry. To see you today, you don't seem able to hate.
«I choose not to cultivate resentment because it takes your time, but there have been times when things were not going well. You just want to bite. At home it was not good and I wanted to take it from myself. I had no education, so I started with manual work. And there is a jungle. So when I see the angry people a little I understand them. Even if I don't justify them ».
When did you realize that you could live with a pencil in his hand?
"Very late, I was over forty years old. The first time they paid me for a comic on the web, a hundred euros, I couldn't believe it. Then from there it was all very fast and I started working hard ».
Was it the turning point to know Diego Bianchi?
"Surely. Although not the first. Luca Bizzarri called me to be the author of Scherzi a parte on Canale 5. For me it was the first time and I didn't like it at all.
I was in Beppe Caschetto's team, he wanted to send me to "ballando con le Stelle". I thanked them and I went back home to go on with the comics: "live, I live all the same" I told myself. After a year, Diego arrived ".
But did you know each other?
"Everyone knew each other on the web in those years. Among the authors there was a very dear friend of mine, Antonio Sofi. I found a place where my language was spoken, I felt at home. At the beginning I just drew, then I became a sort of co-host. I started doing what I did in editorial meetings in the studio. The exchange between me and Diego works because we are as in reality ».
I believe that one of the things you like most about your work is the ability to combine a certain poetic with satire. Am I right?
"I have an innate sense of empathy. I cannot definitively condemn anyone. Anyways with the exception of borderline cases, like Brusca ... But even the worst about which I do satire, I always think he is a human being with his problems. He is bad just because there is something that frightens him, as it was for me. I think that if one could, one would cry a lot and then come back good. Do you know what? If I could I wouldn't work on political satire, I am interested in human adventure. But making political satire pays off. But in my cartoons I always try to put on something else ".
In his cartoons there is always a careful choice of music, do you do it?
"That's the first thing. I always start from the music, I play it in the background and I adapt the design to her. I have the ability to remember any music ever heard in a movie. Because my real passion is cinema, not comics ».
And wouldn't you like to make a film as a director?
"I don't know, I have too much respect for that job. Domenico Procacci told me to think about it. I have an idea: the cartoonists are all on the left, those on the right are scarce. The only exception is Osho who has found his own format. Here in my film there is me who teachs in a drawing school for "fasci" (ndt: extreme right in politic - kind of fascists), to teach them the beauty. But nothing to do, Procacci does not like this idea. "
