When Asdrubal ends up becoming an exhibit in the peculiar Dum-Dum Museum, he finds himself surrounded by objects, memories, and stories that seem determined to define who he is. As visitors observe him as if he were a rare artifact, Asdrubal begins to confront questions of identity, history, and the ways in which people are remembered or forgotten.
Balancing humor with a subtle reflection on memory and cultural preservation, Elvira Vigna transforms the museum setting into a playful space where official versions of history can be questioned. Beneath the comic surface lies a thoughtful exploration of who gets represented, who tells the stories, and what remains after events have passed.
The book’s visual narrative expands these themes through inventive layouts and illustrations that blur the boundary between exhibit and observer. Asdrubal’s presence among the museum’s collections creates a rich dialogue between text, image, and graphic design, reinforcing the series’ experimental character.
