Founded in Copenhagen Plethora Magazine #1 serves up a fresh perspective on the approach to printed matter that is both infinitely slower than your average glossy mag and excessive enough in format to seriously put the size of any coffee table to the test.
Skilfully printed by the monks of a Hindu temple an air of serenity permeates from every page of the magazine as the gentle giant takes the reader on a wondrous and timeless journey far off the beaten paths of the cultural mainstream.
In honouring the unique qualities of artisanal printing tradition, Plethora Magazine offers a purist take on the future expression of the printed magazine and a quiet ode to all the things left behind by the fast track digitalisation. No noise, no ads and no logos, just 52 pages of poster-size visual indulgence and tales from the life less ordinary presented in a careful blend of quirky archive material, fine art prints and contemporary artist features.
Issue #1 exhibits a flamboyant variety of features on everything from acoustic warfare, Patagonian initiation rites, devilish compositions as well as exclusive image series from artists like Julien Colombier, Bobby Beausoleil, Maiko Gubler and Adam Jeppesen and is available in an limited edition of 800 – all tailored and serial numbered.
