CLOSING CEREMONY Magazine 02: Americano Issue
BACK IN STOCK
The second issue of CLOSING CEREMONY Magazine, an art magazine by Shanghai publishing label Same Paper, is titled "Americano," and takes a playful approach to contemporary America and its photographic expression.
This issue focuses on ten US-based photographers, exploring themes such as gender, politics, class, and consumption. By rearranging and visually presenting the small elements hidden in the everyday, they create a new order that blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction.

The title of the accompanying booklet, "Amazine," is a combination of the American-based company "Amazon" and the English word "amazing." This time, the photos were taken using items actually purchased from Amazon. Six photographers took on this bizarre project, following the rule that the items must be returned in good condition within the specified time frame. This book is a hyper-push, just like the main feature.
