Fantastic Man #16, Jop van Bennekom & Gert Jonkers (Eds.), published by TOP Publishers BV.

It is a total pleasure that today’s recommendation is the brand new 16th issue of FANTASTIC MAN. It’s a magnificently hefty one, weighing in at 294 pages, and features an idyllic romp through the British Isles with photographer ALASDAIR McLELLAN, an instructional manual for the noble pursuit of ironing, a vast range of practical fashions shot in the Alps, a uniquely Dutch proposal for eating and a number of interesting men such as THOMAS JONES, NICHOLAS LOWE, MARK LEE, ROMAN COPPOLA, RYAN McGINLEY, HOLLY JOHNSON, GIORGIO MORODER, JONATHAN SAUNDERS and, of course, cover star OLIVER SIM, the singer of THE XX, who is pretty much the most exciting man in popular music today.

O Perfume Do Boi, André Princípe. Published by Pierre von Kleist Editions.

O Perfume do Boi (The Perfume of the Bull) is Princípe’s latest book, shot during a three-month anticlockwise journey around Portugal’s borders.

We are outside cities, out in the fields and woods, in small town circuses, with the lunatics and acrobats. The very strong narrative feeling comes with an equally strong suspicion that there might be no story. The photos of the animals and people combined with the natural elements, cause a sense of eminent danger and trouble. There is an aura of prophecy and myth, and in the end we are left with the echo of a cry in the night.

About the book, Príncipe has said “The Japanese five elements are, in ascending order of power – Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void”.

SAN ROCCO #5 / Scary Architects, Matteo Ghidoni ( Ed.), published by San Rocco.

The latest issue of San Rocco Magazine confronts the horror of architecture: “What should we think of the architects who have decided to scare the rest of the world deliberately? And what about buildings that are not just big and uncanny, but deliberately dark, windowless, gloomy, repulsive, or anti-human?”

SAN ROCCO is a magazine about architecture.
SAN ROCCO does not solve problems. It is not a useful magazine.
SAN ROCCO is neither serious nor friendly.
SAN ROCCO is written by architects. As such, SAN ROCCO is not particularly intelligent, or philologically accurate. In SAN ROCCO, pictures are more important than texts.
SAN ROCCO is serious. It takes the risk of appearing naive.
SAN ROCCO will not last for ever. There will be no more than 20 SAN ROCCOs for the single five-year plan.
San Rocco is the name of a place in Monza, not a nice place. Giorgio Grassi and Aldo Rossi engaged in a design competition for this place in 1971. The project was not built; ordinary housing blocks were built instead.
