BILL 5
JULIE M. PEETERS
$105.00
Bill
192 pages, magazine with colour images
9789464988680
Here is the fifth installment of Julie M Peeters's phenomenal magazine BILL. There's no text and no advertisements amongst its pages, a timely reminder of the way images are autonomous and can be read just as lines on a page are. I read an interview with Peeters where she talked about the importance of the physical page, and the distinct difference between seeing a printed image and looking at it on screen, and this is emphasised in the pages of BILL through the myriad paper stocks used that respond to the content printed on them, Peeters's love of offset printing and relationship with a small printer in Munsterschwarzach. BILL always makes my heart leap to my throat, especially charmed this issue by the way the gatefold looks as if its been printed by pressing it against the end page, like making paint butterflies as a child. As always, incredible source material too, scenes from Palestinian artist Rosalind Nashashibi's Electrical Gaza, luminous baked goods, the work of photographer Beat Streuli, sand, waves, shadows and more.
