Published for the first time in May 2023 by Bao Publishing, LOOPS is a graphic novel written by Luca Pozzi and illustrated by Elisa Macellari.
Inspired by a conversation with the theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, it is intended as an interdisciplinary relational artwork disseminated through the horizontal and democratic publishing platform.
The story, set in a South East Asia pristine jungle among mangrove forests, Buddhist temples and wild animals, introduces the key concepts of the loop quantum gravity conjecture through a quasi-classical dialogue between the two protagonists: the scientist and the artist.
