Self-unveiling as Final Gesture

In my review I try to give the potential reader a sense of the significance of Giorgio Agamben’s work Studiolo, published in 2021. In my interpretation, this book is of great importance for both the reader and Agamben, because it deals with elderliness and the fruit which comes by reflecting onto it: the confrontation with the creative process. The object of my review takes on a special importance if the author’s studiolo is recognised as an intimate space of thought and creation; this sphere being an area into which the reader can only gain insight on rare occasions. In my opinion in the current book Agamben tries to unveil himself with the help of the artworks and the arising thoughts which emerge from these. He wants to grasp that specific fountain or source, which made possible his philosophy.
