Land without Man

In the planet Earth human beings stop existing. The only that reminds of them are the structures they built and the personal objects they left behind in the natural landscape. Today, in this landscape, with this creature’s remembrance written on all of his creations, on all the creatures of the cherry nature and on the cherry nature itself, everything talks about the species that disappeared. What kind of stories will they narrate? Which was there relation with humans and where did this relation lead them? Do they see dreams about this species or is it coming back as ghost at night?

Kaboom

… “The KABOOM aspires to be an open and constantly evolving project with the central concept of collegiality. It constitutes our response to the need for calendar records of an era… “without limits, without conditions”.

The envolving with the daytime stories and the conversation with the nightlights is worth of new perspectives.

The creative ideas, the groundbreaking views and the fresh analyses are worth to be diffused horizontally, to be discussed, to be enriched, all these moving sceneries between the urban fabric are worthy of being recorded.

We make a magazine that was missing for us as readers. A magazine that gives space for expression in everything new, innovative, remarkable, that is not afraid to stand up toward things. “…
