Rooted‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ belief‬‭ that‬‭ domesticity‬‭ is‬‭ not‬‭ a‬‭ static‬‭ setting‬‭ for‬‭ everyday‬‭ life‬‭ but‬‭ a‬‭ living‬‭ and‬‭ evolving‬‭ experience,‬‭ the‬‭ book‬‭ expands‬‭ from‬‭ the‬‭ scope‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ architectural‬ lens.‬‭ By‬‭ reintroducing‬‭ home‬‭ as‬‭ something‬‭ felt,‬‭ remembered,‬‭ imagined,‬‭ and‬‭ continuously‬‭ made,‬‭ this‬‭ publication‬‭ tackles‬‭ the‬‭ issues‬‭ of‬‭ dwelling,‬‭ belonging‬‭ and‬‭ shared‬‭ living‬‭ with‬‭ architects,‬‭ interior‬‭ architects,‬‭ educators,‬‭ designers,‬‭ and‬‭ practitioners‬‭ whose‬‭ work‬‭ touches‬‭ on‬‭ care, intimacy, and everyday rituals.‬

‭ Divided‬‭ into‬‭ two‬‭ correlated‬‭ parts‬‭-Reflections‬‭ and‬‭ Exercises‭-the‬‭ book‬‭ brings‬‭ together‬ twenty-one‬‭ contributes‬‭ including‬‭ essays,‬‭ conversations,‬‭ and‬‭ interactive‬‭ exercises.‬‭

An intertextual, intimately descriptive writing on the spaces we inhabit, informing lived space!

We shower, cook and heat our homes. There is water, gas and electricity. We sit at a table, wash in a sink or rest on a couch. We are bodies among other bodies; living and dead, solid and fluid, raw and transformed, recognisable or in disguise. To live is to interact, but what are we interacting with?

The Domestic Encyclopaedia is a collection of stories that explore the material body of architecture, of houses. In the midst of ongoing ecological disaster and increased alienation from nature it invites you to travel beyond the screen, to practice attention and probe the nature of domestic space.

Watch the bathroom merge with mountain streams, kitchens sizzle on sandy beaches and a bedroom drift into a nocturnal choreography.
Let them seep underneath your door.
Welcome home.

In this encyclopedia of domestic space Annee Grøtte Viken enters in a dialogue with the conventional spaces that surround us, the semiotic skin we call home. She uses her first love, literature, to imagine and give voice to the seemingly mute spaces we inhabit, collecting bits and pieces from the western canon and non-western counter-canon, to find characters lying in bath, dreaming in bed, cooking in kitchens. By each time articulating the imagined voices of these spaces, she embarks on a poetic journey into the home, this drifting island.

In her first novel, Morgane Billuart combines an unyielding Arctic darkness and media critique to explore the boundaries between physical reality and technological innovation.

“Promptly, without introducing herself, another participant raised her hand, slowly moving toward the microphone before spitting out a few words: “I’m sorry, but in such a world, how do you know what you should believe and shouldn’t trust?”

The speaker remained quiet. After inflexing his finger next to his mouth a few times, he reached for the microphone and claimed, while staring directly at Max: “You pay very close attention to your body and your daily senses. The body does not know how to lie to you. Pay very little attention to your mind. It is lying to you. All the time.”

A study trip is a psychedelic journey you embark upon to learn about the world.

Whether you are looking to integrate a single experience into your life, or you have your own dedicated practice; whether you work with plants, meditations or other techniques; whether you are a creative professional or you simply wonder how psychedelics are linked to art, this book speaks to you. You might be curious, confused, excited or even a little scared, as the subject is often clouded in taboo. This book clarifies confusion and celebrates mystery.

AVAILABLE AT 21€ VIA SETMARGINS.PRESS ( link in bio) or get a copy through your local bookstore!

Dozens of art and design examples illustrate and accompany chapters on all aspects of psychedelic study described in no-nonsense language, including intention, dosage, dangers, documentation, entities and encounters, substances and methods, co-creation and collaboration, not-knowing, non-action and much more.

Study Trip offers a lucid guide through artistic, scientific, social, material and spiritual issues around psychedelics, with the goal of helping you find your own way, and your own deeper questions.

POST-SCRIPT: Author Z speaks about the making and purpose of Moving Beyond the Left
A Post-Left Post-Mortem in Pursuit of Freedom


Written by Z, afterword by Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin.

In the collective aims and desires for a free world, does the construct of the “Left” hinder more than help?

One answer is: Yes, and by design.

In a time of ideological confusion, growing authoritarianism, and cascading ecological collapse, the cyclical failures of Left frameworks, traditions, and spaces to address these concerns have left many confused, heartbroken, and jaded—and yet the stakes remain high.

Visualization is a form of design practice that deploys representational processes of enormous rhetorical and analytical power. What is often left out of the picture is the network of processes which it assembles and the non-visual effects it produces. This book asks how visualization can operate as a critical design practice that attends to the representational and performative processes it arranges.

POST-SCRIPT: Author / designer Ian Lynam speaks about the making and purpose of FRACTURE-JAPANESE GRAPHIC DESIGN 1875-1975


Fracture: Japanese Graphic Design 1875–1975 is a profusely illustrated, dynamically designed, and easy-to-read survey of the history of Japanese graphic design. Designer, educator, critic, and historian Ian Lynam explores graphic design in Japan from its foundations in the graphic arts to the immediate pre-digital design era. Fracture is grounded by a number of essays that help readers understand the tremendous cultural shifts that have happened in Japan since it re-opened to the West, exploring modernity, imperialism, gender, commercialism, sexuality, and aesthetics.

AVAILABLE AT 38€ VIA SETMARGINS.PRESS ( link in bio) and local bookstores!

Ian Lynam (born 1972) holds an MFA in graphic design from California Institute of the Arts. He is a faculty member at Temple University Japan Campus as well as at Vermont College of Fine Arts. His previous books on design include War with Myself, The Failed Painter and The Impossibility of Silence.

Design Against Design argues for the urgent necessity of critical engagement and political resistance through graphic practice. It draws on insights from the practice of LOKI, a small graphic design studio committed to working with social movements towards radical political change. With con­versational interviews, personal and critical essays, and a wide-ranging selection of graphic works, this book unravels the real-world relationships, motivations and contradictions involved in a socially engaged design practice.
