First edition
Not just a postcard from abroad, but a zine. The first ever edition of ATÉ JÁ, Everyday a Little Adventure, takes us on a neighbourhood walk. L.A-based Italian photographer Francesca Forquet captures the kitschy charm of the city's visual attractions, but not through its celebrities, broad streets or towering palms. A limited-edition selection from her award-winning 'Santa Monica' series brings the hidden corners of this seaside neighbourhood to these pages. From trash bins to front porches, windowsills to license plates, Forquet's fondness for the symbolic value of day-to-day objects spotlights these peculiar bursts of individuality, inviting viewers to discover humour, irony, and playfulness in the contradictions of modern American society.
