Pascal Möhlmann

I personally know 3 women who would immediately strip to pose for Pascal Möhlmann. But that’s not the point. Although you might think otherwise, Möhlmann doesn’t see his work as erotic and based on fetishes.

Thomas Azier

When I think about it, I really remember more gloomy days and more darkness than light in Berlin. It’s a pity on the one hand, but on the other it’s a thriving environment for all those moody artists who find their creative fuel in the overcast skies over Berlin. Here’s maybe the best proof for my theory. His name is

Aurelien Juner

Aurelien and I share the same suspicion and doubt about the fashion industry. We’re also in a love-hate triangle with fashion magazines. The French native from Bordeaux is now based in Barcelona, where he continues his work with mixed media, photography and graphic design. My personal pick from his intriguing portfolio is called Surface – a very personal photographic réflexion on

He’s also an installation artist from France who decided to take on Barranquilla, an industries city on the Northern Caribbean coast of Colombia (it’s also where Shakira was born).

In an era of financial insecurity and where printed media is created on a friendship base for almost no money, the future of zines is more insecure than ever. That’s why events like the Chicago Zine Fest have to receive the most attention, since they make up for a large part of the life cycle of a zine. My favorite
