ISSUE 08

In this issue, the image is removed. This is the issue of being present.

We walk in cities with no postcards, only to collect postcards from home. We close our eyes to move our bodies through dense tourism and rising floods. We drive through the past, holding on to occult rituals to stay rooted. We taste the city on the go, misled by its disguised façades and concealed staircases. We bring home wild plants, only to forget them, and choose to live beside volcanoes despite the risk. We switch off the lights to walk under the stars, and to hear the echoes of suppressed rivers. In this issue, we sense all kinds of flows.

This is the issue of cities as energies.

Issue 08 will take you to TIRANA – ATHENS – MUSCAT – LISBON – BENIDORM – MADRID – NEW YORK CITY – NAPLES – ISTANBUL – VALLETTA – PARIS – OAXACA – YEREVAN, with a city guide on VENICE.
