My Travels Through the World on My Copy Machine In her black and white landscapes, Swiss photographer Dominique Teufen travels the world from her studio, using a copy machine as her vehicle. A wave licking the shore of a beach, a snow-capped mountain peak, jagged rock formations—the monochrome landscapes of Dominique Teufen feel both mysterious and familiar at the same time.

Oyster Made over the course of 10 years, Marco Marzocchi’s project Oyster confronts his difficult childhood head on through a personal journey of prickly self-reflection, intertwined with moments of tenderness. Hailing back to Ancient Egyptian iconography, the ‘ouroboros’—a snake eating its own tail—is a symbol of the cyclical nature of life. A different snake, its body twisted and contorted, graces each cover of Marco Marzocchi’s new book Oyster.

At the time, it was said that the God of Thunder came to Nara riding on a white deer.
