SHORT SCAR/VES

- David Boon


Published by SO-RI, Antwerp, 2023.

RISO printed in Black on coloured paper.
15 x 19cm, 8 art works.
SHORT SCAR/VES is a small publication by David Boon. The project originates from his “onecuts” (small cut-outs from old magazines). 

CAT / SCARES / SCRATCHES / SCAR / SCARF

The onecuts stand on their own as ‘SCAR’ and in a pattern as ‘SCARF’. The result is a publication / booklet / work to put on the wall.

Boon looked at simple things and uses them in a different way, whether it’s the shapes in old advertisements or the binder that he uses to show his work in this project, or the perforations to mimic the appearance of a scarf.

The Grey Book

- Annie Naskyd

Published by SO-RI, Antwerp, 2022.

RISO printed in Black, Fluor. Orange, Green and Purple.
19.5 x 26cm, 52 pages.
The Grey Book delves into the principles of permaculture gardening and how they can be applied to contemporary urban design. It highlights the issue of soulless urban spaces that are filled with decorative trees and plants which fail to contribute to the local ecosystem.

Annie created a series of graphic illustrations that correspond to the sourced text in the book. She constructed each image using 10 distinct 'pixels,' placing them one by one until the picture was ‘complete’. Annie has since incorporated this approach into my other design projects, blending the principles of manual work and artistry into her designs.

Cloudscapes

- Inês Martins

Published by SO-RI, Antwerp, 2022.

RISO printed in Black, Bright Red, Green and Yellow.
C6, 11 cards in a small envelope.
Ten realistic representations of clouds according to their scientific classification were created digitally. Depending on their characteristics, each card corresponds to a file that reads the name of the type of cloud being generated.

These ten basic cloud types are part of the modern classification system in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere), and vary in their shape and altitude.

The postcards series analyzes the ambiguous content between real and virtual space, capturing what the hand cannot touch, hold and squeeze.
