Z3NE, Ali Beşikçi (ed.)

"Z3NE is our third collective book. The first two are Z-ONE & The Big Rot. These creatures are the result of three different open call’s. Each without a theme. Although for The Big Rot, there was a note saying that we were looking for images decaying in the borders of your archives. It’s basically what we’re interested in. We don’t believe in the power of a stand-alone image as much as we believe what a group might stand for together. That’s why we make books.

Shy, silent, hesitant images start to open up. They start revealing sides of them which remained hidden so far. Small dialogues emerge. Then they get louder and louder. Individual notes become a whole orchestra. That’s why we prefer listening to the images and not starting with a specific idea in mind. We are interested in works that suggest instead of showing. Whisper instead of shouting. Something violent can become heavier when communicated in a soft manner. Sometimes light becomes the best way to evoke darkness… 

The book is divided into chapters, they remain without a name."
