A multimedia zine made in Fremantle / Walyalup, Western Australia - originally released at Current Gallery ➡️ th-cam.com/video/arGb6RisGFA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Za2XRz-i9449tNFc . A second collection of pieces of art and design, pieces of places, stories, ideas, emotions and experiences documenting the lives of myself and my friends through 2023-24.
I'm almost out of printed copies of this zine so I decided to put it all up online for free here, set to a mix I created of the songs linked to each page in the zine, for a full audiovisual experience.
💿 This mix is also on soundcloud if you just wanna listen: soundcloud.com/user-81193476/pieces-vol2-mix-1
