N°001 / 008
01 — Manifesto
We curate the friction between opposites.
order
The line is drawn with intention. Composition begins as architecture — measured, repeated, indexed. Every artefact in our archive begins with restraint.
chaos
And then it is broken. We invite the rupture: the misprint, the smudged glyph, the deliberate static. What remains is a record of the collision.
02 — Works
A zigzag of commissioned contradictions.
PLATE II
N°02
Hush — FIELDS_03
Identity for a silent retreat in the Hokuriku highlands. Hand-cut serifs against a kinetic display system that animates only when no one is looking.
N°03
Cinder — EXHIBIT_12
A retrospective for a ceramicist whose works are smashed at the close of every show. The catalogue is bound in the dust of its own subject, then digitised in 16k.
PLATE III
PLATE IV
N°04
Gilded — CIPHER_19
Wayfinding for a museum of forgeries. Every sign tells the truth and a lie in equal measure; the visitor learns to read the gold leaf in between.
N°05
Echo — VESSEL_02
A perfumer’s annual: half woodblock, half lossless audio. The fragrance is named in serif italics; its accompanying tone is named in monospace.
PLATE V
03 — Practice
Two studios, one address.
i.
Editorial Direction & Feral Print
We commission, edit, and bind. We also tear, overprint, and let the press misalign. Every monograph leaves the studio with a witnessed defect.
ii.
Identity & Counter-Identity
For each system we build, a counter-system. Marks that whisper paired with marks that interrupt. Logos that age and logos that refuse to.
iii.
Generative Score & Hand-Cut Form
Code that composes; gouges that resist. Our motion work begins as a written instruction and ends as something we could not have predicted.
