OE Magazine #3: I am what I am

Πis an independent fashion magazine from Berlin. Twice a year, it acts as a platform for the German, and particularly the Berlin fashion scene.

Œ largely refrains from ‘describing’ current trends and ideas in fashion, but instead concentrates on showing fashion by purely focusing on images. In every issue, 10 photo editorials reveal what keeps designers, photographers, stylists and hair & make-up artists moving these days.

When it comes to production Πstrives to maximise the potential of printed matter. Different paper qualities and special production features make Πan item that people like to hold, keep and collect.

HORST #02

Being gay today – between acceptance and anti-homosexual legislation. We take a look at one social taboo, homosexuality in old age, and one sexual one: genital modification. We say goodbye to a relic of gay culture from the last generation: the porn cinema. We also met up with fashion legend and well-known Horst fan Jean Paul Gaultier, plus cult fashion designer John Varvatos. Sound designer Michel Gaubert creates the modern man’s playlist exclusively for HORST. Plus: guys in corsets, a Burger Girl, digital media for the gay community and …… penises!

Firn – Aufzeichnungen am Gletscher. Nicola Reiter. Spector Books.

Um ihr Auskommen als freie Gestalterin aufzubessern, verbringt Nicola Reiter einen Sommer als Saisonkraft auf einer Vereinsberghütte in den Schweizer Alpen am Rand eines Gletschers. Als es nach tagelangem Nebel bereits Anfang August schneit, wird der Aufenthalt im Gebirge zu einer Belastungsprobe: Die Gäste bleiben fern, der Strom fällt aus und zum Schluss versiegt sogar das Wasser. In “Firn” protokolliert Nicola Reiter ihren neuen Alltag in Form eines literarischen Tagebuchs. Die Baumgrenze wird dabei zu einer imaginären Linie, die das Unvorhersehbare in den Bergen von dem bequemen Dasein in der Großstadt trennt. Mit jedem Tag rückt es für die Autorin in immer weitere Ferne.

„Nirgendwo in Blickweite gibt es ein weiteres von Menschen gemachtes Licht. Ich fühle mich mit der Taschenlampe in meiner Hand wie ein winziger Punkt und halte es für durchaus möglich, dass ich im nächsten Moment weggepustet werde, so wie ich eben die Kerzen in der Stube ausgeblasen habe.“ Nicola Reiter in diesem Buch.

Watching Humans Watching

Presentation of the book Watching Humans Watching by Inka Lindergård and Niclas Holmström, published by Kehrer Verlag 2011.

Watching Humans Watching deals with humans relationship with nature and the open landscape through the concept of humans as animals. Over time it also came to deal with the perception of nature as the ‘great unknown’, expectations of what it is, and how we are supposed to act within it.
With SAGA series we are more interested in the whole mystic aura surrounding concepts of nature. It is an experimental inquiry into our own notion of the sublime; The magic and psychological powers of nature phenomenas such as sunsets and horizons. It’s quasi-religious rituals and make-believe wilderness.
