Elders
Chiara Lammens reports from the Ardennes, where nothing is what it seems. Through subtle details in her illustrations, she shows the collective human urge to be one with nature, to find solitude, peace and quiet. She keeps wandering, discovering new experiences around every bend.

Imagine a Flaw © Son Ni
Imagine a Flaw
Son Ni’s Imagine a Flaw depicts the confinement of one’s own mind, and a longing to be free. Her seemingly abstract lines often attempt to flee from the restraints of time and space, and look for an accidental flaw amidst sheer perfection. They honour, if not celebrate, a certain personal imperfection that can be shared by many.

Insert a Page (Halogen) © Chihoi
Insert a Page (Halogen)
Chihoi examines his collection of faded slides of old Hong Kong. He projects them on a wall and paints them like outdoor sketches. These touristic photos of the past that were largely ignored by locals, have gradually become part of the collective memory over decades. To insert a page is to add one more piece of puzzle. The paintings commemorate the light of a lost era.

No Magic Please © Aphichat Orn Rodwathnakul
No Magic Please
Author Aphichat Rodwathnakul – better known as “Uncle Orn” – created a furore in the 1980s and 1990s, when cheap katun-lem-la-Baht comics were read all over Thailand. Traces trawls through his archives and presents not only a new short story but also an extensive selection from his sketchbooks. These show everyday life in Thailand and the illustrator’s fascination with the mystical.
2022 | 16.7 x 24 x 0.9 cm | paperback with 12 glossy, 12 lime, 4 pink and 96 pages in four-colour print, glued, pink wrapper | text in English and Thai | ISBN 9789464514018
