apocalypse zine
apocalypse project statement
What is apocalypse about?
The purpose of this zine is to have an open and subjective engagement with the overall theme of apocalypse. It engages the notions of shift, revelation and catastrophe. apocalypse attempts to emphasize the material and objective condition of the world without denying subjectivity and individuality. apocalypse is neither purely conceptual nor physical – it aims for harmony.
It is not about cultural studies, nor is it attempting to illustrate the historic genesis of the term apocalypse. It exists to question the shape of the world – to address our current time, the intensification of madness and violent structures, as well as hope, wit and the search for form.
The people involved in the project come from a wide variety of disciplines. Different and remote positions challenge cultural norms and don’t create a pseudo-homogenous field of discourse.
All participants are joined within a poetic and curious approach. Contradictions and similarities emerge within the contributions, both of which are neither forced nor concealed.
