All Forbidden Unless

GABRIELLA BALLIN & MATTEO SPADONI

What if everything were forbidden?

Unless is a city where everything is forbidden/

But don’t worry, often the fines aren’t steep at all, on the contrary, they might turn out to be very sweet.

If you pass by here on the 14th of the month without wearing a hat, for example, you could get a cake in the face!

Come and step into the city: there are very many oddities, but much fun to be had!

  • Humour, fun and many different levels of reading of the text and the various images for the delight of both young and old.
