The magazine was formed through sourcing for a way to design with the idea of not designing, in collaboration with young artist, Masaho Anotani and German master printer, Gerhard Steidl. The book mimics the box containing Masaho’s artworks, which was shipped to WORK. The publication retains the folders and file sequencing as provided from Tokyo, keeping the final work as close to the artist's original vision as possible. The aim is to retain the beauty of the artworks as they are and evolve the publication naturally, where the process itself is brought to centre stage at the core of the work.
