Le Petit Parisien

Created in San Francisco, 2019, with Douglas Smith. Between history, reality, and fantasy.
With a vast archive of over 24.477 issues – we took on an editorial project of creating a relaunch of the iconic Parisian daily newspaper Le Petit Parisien that closed in 1944. A play of old and new, the magazine finds itself and its readers in two parallel times, combing text and photos from both today and yesterday.

Le Petit Parisien was a magazine that was published between 1876 and 1944 in France. It was the most published newspaper during that time.

Silenced Forest

Created in San Francisco, 2019, with Gustav Bodin and Lovisa Berglund. When the forest goes silent, our ecosystems lack balance—
The echoing sound of animal life has always been a beautiful melody. The croaks and groans of frogs form a beautiful chorus that have filled the air of our forests. But suddenly, they went mysteriously silent. In the 1980s, scientists first encountered the deadly fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a type of Chytrid.

—
Activism is one of the main trends in 2019; all celebrities and public figures have a topic they specialize in. Media is everywhere, and we carry it with us at all times in the form of our smartphones. How do you get people to care about the problem with this information overload? How does one make the environmental problem relatable and understandable.

To get people to understand how their actions affect the environment, we gave them a concrete example. Focusing on the Fungus Chytrid that have killed 60% of amphibian species since the 1980s. The actual cause of the problem is unknown, but all known theories are connected to human behavior.

Whack

Created on California Street, San Francisco, during quarantine in 2020 with Karolina Lang. In a quest for love, we define our whole being through the eyes of a male. Always yearning for what makes the mundane bearable and a love so explosive it leaves you shattered. We let go of the inward scrutiny and look at the outward. The dirty, ugly, cheap, lazy, sexist attempts to woo us. This is what happens when whack turns into poetry.
