onestar press, a collection of books, multiples and movies by artists is dedicated to the production of books and multiples and movies of movies by artists.

The overall production of onestar press includes more than 160 books, 150 multiples and artists’ films since 2000. The space and freedom given to artists, the flexibility in the realization of their concepts, the access to and use of new technologies have allowed onestar press to collaborate with international artists on a variety of projects. The vision of onestar press, concerning contemporary creation, remains non-didactic and diversified. These beliefs translate through the publication of artists from different generations, countries and attitudes. This action serves as a means to constitute a subjective “encyclopedia”, as a reflection of our civilization.
