Materia

Fanzine Materia is a collective project about emotions. Each photographer presented a series taking photos from their archive that recalls a period of life where one faced a difficulty, or a change in one’s life. You can give different interpretations when browsing Materia because each of us somehow recognizes emotions or moods.
The photographers amazed me with how they approached the project, for some it is their first independent publishing job. The eight photographers:

Producing a fanzine

Producing a fanzine includes test prints. In this photo two test prints, on the left made at home with a normal printer and hand assembled. The one the right is a typographical test print.

Final production run, front and back covers of the fanzine.

As well as a printed fanzine, Materia was also published 25 May 2023 on ISSUU as a viewable PDF.
