Our very personal brief list of exciting, heartwarming, remarkable, eye-candy encounters:

002 VESSEL - Zattere, monotonie, correnti e paratie   /   by Caterina Gabelli

Photography and drawing tell us about: water and wood, sand and bricks, unstable matter, corrosion, floating thoughts, floods, fissures, circulatory system, monotony and discontinuity. Pause. Details, transparency, things that stay.

003 Short HISTORY of BOTH UNIVERSES, vol. 1  /  by Sara Maragotto 

Is it possible to represent the All? The Life The Universe and Everything. Or at least The Much Possible? This zine whispers in your ear some thin fragments and subtle cosmic drawings about this (endless, failing) research. Dreams of pocket size encyclopaedias, seeds, eggs and diagrams of the existence.
