Landscapes & Duality of loneliness

Yeap! Has been a while since i don’t show you the new zines we have been publishing on Bad Wether. Today, two of them, and both from new photograph artists!

Landscapes is a photozine of known places. Others, discovered by Clémenthine Thomas during his long trips. Enigmatic, magical and symmetrically beautiful landscapes. You will not find human presence on all pages. You will be alone and calm.

We can’t say the same about Duality of loneliness, alone yes but… calm? The images have been composed and cut to look like a comic, photographs talk linearly (in the direction of the history) and as a whole double page composition.

In every page, the dialogues become more dark, enigmatic and in some cases, depressive. We are really suprised with Vertice Vortice's (Ana Núñez Rodríguez) work, love it!

Tenderete 9: photos

Here the pictures you were all waiting for. Well, maybe not everybody, but shows a little bit what we did in València those days, the city with three really important things: paella, Escif's street art (read interview in spanish here) and Tenderete.

We took the paella the first day. We didn't want to leave this for the last day, so here the first picture.

In La Llimera, we arrived just in time to hear Ceferino Galán and the adventures of the most important fanzines in Spain: El Naufraguito.

Between the speeches, we had time to check the exhibition: NÃO HÁ DESCANSO PARA OS MORTO by Oficina Arara, from Portugal.

Then, there was another speech with Garikoitz Fraga (Belleza Infina), César Sanchez (Fulgencio Pimentel) and David Schilter (Kus Komikss). We left before the end, we were too tired.

Doors open the first day! Lots of people on the first day.

Paula Prats, from València, came to visit us. Super-quickly we had a chance to shoot a picture with his fanzine: Northwestern Wild.

Vietnam's reunification express

News, News! Some of you have seen the website with lot’s of new stuff. Vietnam’s Reunification Express is the first photozine we publish from the low cost photo-traveler Isma Monfort Vialcanet.

Born in Barcelona, and full time photographer and traveler. He has been always working in the audiovisuals sector, but now, he is enjoying traveling and explaining the experiences on the blog.

Fanzinant

Eneka Fernández and Sara Fernández where working together during five years, and all this time they discovered the passion of self-publishing, photography and fanzines.

Now, with all this experience during all this years, they created Fanzinant, a way to show their love for this world. They don’t only show the extensive collection they own (in a nice and clean website), they also write about them, they talk about some interesting fairs focused in self-publishing and cities where you can find nice shops to buy and have a look at this kind of stuff we love.

They have a Facebook fanpage, a like to their page could be something nice to do, no?

FLIA 2014: brief description.

The last October was eventful. The same weekend we were at the Vancouver Art/Book Fair, we were also at the second edition of FLIA. (See pictures of the last year here.)

The desk. With a flag from Slovakia as a tablecloth.

It was a very warm day, but thanks to the good faith of the girls from Lindero Libros (Noe Lavado and Helena Rovira) we could manage to fit under a sunshade. On the other side of the table we were nicely accompanied by Ignacio Navas, who was selling his last photozine «Yolanda». An amazing publication.

The girls that handdle Lindero Libros.

Overall, considering all the publishers who came and the people who attended the event, we think it’s right to think that FLIA has already become one of the major fairs to consider in the world of self-publishing.

And yes, there was some cool street music too. Thanks to all who made it possible.
