“What art does — maybe what it does most completely — is tell us, make us feel that what we think we know, we don’t. There are whole worlds around us that we’ve never glimpsed.” Greil Marcus — Tuesday September 12th — —

I love listening. It is one of the only spaces where you can be still and moved at the same time. — Nayyirah Waheed — Tuesday September 12th — —

The idea is to die young as late as possible. — Ashley Montagu — Tuesday September 12th — —

The Summer Book

by Arturo Bamboo

Last Saturday, Kennedy Magazine hosted the release of a self-published Travel Diary by Arturo Bamboo. Arthur and Bamboo, living in Berlin and originally from the Netherlands, traveled the Mediterranean capturing intimate snapshots, portraits, legendary places and landscapes shot around various places.

For us, it is very personal – we’d tried to create a photo book which serves as an escape for us, but also for the viewer. It should take your mind to a place you haven’t physically been but still be able to feel it, smell it, be there in your mind. We try to give that feeling through this collection of memories, whether it’s through natural beauty or intimacy. Although the world is changing so fast, life under the sun is still about simple pleasures and hasn’t changed much over the last decades.

The book was sold out during the launch event in Hydra, Greece, but we’ll hopefully host an event at NewWerktheater soon to share more of their lovely images. Stay tuned!
