Words by Alex Bec, Wednesday 14 July 2010

This week a site all the way from Melbourne made its way onto my screen from People Collective; a collaborative outfit between Aaron Moodie & Colin Trechter. Since a chance meeting in 2008, the duo have found themselves serendipitously drawing, shooting, cutting, playing and most importantly (for us), creating. More to come from these guys methinks…

Work / Publication Books From The Future's experimentally collaborative and investigative publishing

Books From The Future is a London-based publisher working at the intersection of research, education and publishing founded by educators Yvan Martinez and Joshua Trees. The pair started Books From The Future as a way to explore the models used to structure contemporary art and design education that are “no longer relevant yet have become so institutionalised and internalised that alternatives can seem wildly idealistic and unrealistic by comparison.”

Work / Publication Fantastic Man’s unexpected cover story on the surfers and fisherman of Peniche, Portugal

Each season as a new issue of Fantastic Man is released, conversation ensues around who it has chosen for its cover. What the publication has always done — whether it be featuring Bryan Ferry, Christopher Waltz or Jeremy Deller — is choose someone you wouldn’t quite expect but equally someone you adore, or will do once you’ve finished reading. However, the most recent cover features five men we would be surprised if you recognise: five male surfers from Peniche, Portugal.

Work / Publication Carnovsky illustrates the human body under X-ray using RGB illustration technique

Illustration for educational books has become ever more inventive in recent years, diversifying a medium that has vast creative potential, and Wide Eyed Edition’s recent release Illumanatomy is symbolic of this shift. The large format book is filled cover to cover with full bleed, intricate, three-colour illustrations by Milan-based duo Carnovsky depicting the human body in three layers. Using a set of lenses that come with the book, you can see the skeleton (through the red lens), the muscles (through the green lens) and the organs (through blue) and learn facts about the details of each image. It uses a technique made famous by Carnovsky in 2010 for its RGB wallpaper that revealed different images under different lights.

Work / Publication Zebadiah Keneally’s philosophical zine explores themes of time, love and self

Zebadiah Keneally’s zine, In My End is My Beginning, is a series of meditations on being, time, love, death and self. “I’m interested in themes that unite humanity in our shared experiences and mythologies,” says Zebadiah. “Expressing these concepts and related emotions is an ongoing project and the zine captures where the work is now.”
