About the book

Brothers Willy and Benny Zenga have spent their lives making things: films shot on family camcorders, tall bikes welded from junked bicycles, hand-painted cars, skateparks built from salvaged lumber, and art clubs held in condemned houses under Christmas lights. Together with their sprawling, eccentric family and the communities they've collected along the way, they've built a life that most people would call impractical, occasionally ridiculous, and quietly inspiring. At the heart of it all is a deceptively simple philosophy: Create Everywhere. Redeem Everything. Be a Fool. Equal parts visual memoir and creative manifesto, Be a Fool is 176 pages of stunning photography, honest storytelling, and hard-won wisdom about what it means to make things that matter-with whatever you've got, wherever you are. For the makers, the misfits, the riders, the dreamers. For anyone who has ever looked at a pile of junk and seen something worth building. Be weird. Be joyful. Be a fool.
