As shot by Keng Pereira
When we travelled to Pitti Uomo 105, in January of 2024, we once again asked photographer Keng Perreira to capture the style on the street. See here our personal favorites, which were partly published by the Dutch magazine ModMod in their issue #5. [ Continue reading ]
Looking back at an unexpected year
In Wim Wenders’ extraordinary 2023 film Perfect Days the viewer witnesses the life of a Tokio public toilet cleaner portrayed by an excellent Kōji Yakusho. In the entire film the character is questioned only once about his job by his estranged sister. Not with disrespect for the profession, but rather suggesting that in another life his interests were completely elsewhere. But what at that point the viewer knows, but she doesn't, is that his heavily routined life interweaves those interests with doing his job. Everything the character does is done with the same dedication and respect. His routines offer a pretty effective guideline through the chaos, while in the dedication behind his actions lays the purpose to give it all some meaning. A centered life, clearly rooted in the Japanese tradition. Giving us some new perspectives on what knew all along. [ Continue reading ]

Shots from the road

Together& Mike Dings
We are very proud to present Dead Cowboy by Mike Dings, the first project released under the sublabel of our Together& sideproject. The 88-page unbound A3 publication comprises of the complete collection of works on paper portraying deceased cowboys (2019) by the Dutch artist with a profound love for Spaghetti Westerns. It highlights the sensible strokes of Dings' pencils, showing lonely yet brutally honest scenes of anonymous cowboy figures captured during the dying moments before no one will remember them, again. We asked Dutch writer and poet Bram Schweckhorst to write the accompanying short-short story that forms the introduction of the magazine. [ Continue reading ]
Together& Milan van Dril
Published under the label of our other sideproject, Together&, we are very proud to present SOUND OF HELL, a zine that we created with our good friend and multitalent Milan van Dril. The 152-page A5 size publication is a compilation of photography, film stills, rave flyers and shaved heads, captured on and around the set of Jim Taihuttu's HARDCORE NEVER DIES (2023). The result is a magazine that intertwines the contemporary gabber scene with the cinematic universe of the film set in 1990's Rotterdam. From raves in Rotterdam's Maastunnel to 'hakken' [signature Gabber dance] in a random parking lot, SOUND OF HELL is an ode to the people who keep the Dutch subculture alive to this day.
