Moon City, Mimi Mollica

Moon City explores the silent dialogue and underlying tension between two forces at play — the ancient pull of the Moon and the restless ambition of London's financial skyline — a quiet meditation on nature, capitalism, and the spaces in between.

Designed by leading book designer Ramon Pez, Moon City is driven by a deep sense of urgency — the same urgency that shadows our lives today. Climate change, political upheaval, social unrest, and collective traumas that, instead of bringing us closer, often push us further apart, isolating each of us in our own fragile bubble. Through this work, Mollica seeks to offer a space to pause, to look up, and to reflect — a quiet reminder of forces greater than ourselves, and of the perspectives we risk losing in the noise of modern life. The book includes texts by Iain Sinclair and Brad Feuerhelm.
