American Zoo

Collected, edited and designed by Jennifer Skupin, text by Zack McDonald.
Aristotle once observed that “man is by nature a political animal.” Art Director Jennifer Skupin takes this age-old profundity quite literally, compiling images of American presidents and the animals which they most resemble. It turns out that Fillmore is a mallard, Grant is a grizzly and Obama a llama. For all those hungry for the ultimate series in presidential non-human doppelgangers, American Zoo is the feast you’ve been awaiting. Black & white, 170 x 255 mm, 100 pages, soft cover, edition of 500.

Teufelsberg (mountain devil), is an artificial hill located southwest of Berlin, overlooking the city. Amusement park very popular with young Berliners, this hill was built after the Second World War with the remnants of the city after the Allied bombing. An estimated 30 million cubic meters of rubble piled mass there, the equivalent of 400,000 buildings. The hill rises on the site of the University of Nazi war which had been designed by the architect of the Third Reich, Albert Speer, and half done. As after the war, it was difficult to totally destroy the building riddled with underground bunkers, the German authorities decided to bury him and make him disappear under an artificial hill. The hill was then covered with trees, and used during the winter ski run in the 60s and 70s. During the Cold War, was built at the top center of U.S. espionage radar to listen to communications of the Soviet bloc in East Berlin.

Bon Voyage
Joëlle Allet

Joëlle Allet won the manor price 2010 of the swiss canton wallis. This opportunity enabled her to display her first solo show and publication. The exhibition took place in the museum of arts in sitten, wallis.

Instead of a typical catalogue where the already existing works are photographed in their context, we decided to create a virtual 3d journey book through the museum with renderings of objects that were to be finished only in the night of the opening. Her interventions are shown as a collage between photos and 3d renderings using the stereoscopy technique to produce monochrome anaglyphs. These where composed and arranged with special software and in close collaboration with the swiss society for stereoscopy.
