Volume I, Issue I, Summer 2010
The debut issue of Some Ways to Disappear presents the writings of Swedish author, Helena Kvarnström, with her short story, A Stranger, A Happiness and the photographs of featured American photographer, Anthony Blasko, taken from his long-term project, The Way Things Are.
With windows and doors / That weep when you hold them, is a group-show-in-print, featuring the photographic works of international artists, Hin Chua, Alistair Dickinson, Peter Eavis, James Hendrick, Kirill Kuletski, Carles Rodrigo and Nastya Tailakova. The work that constitutes the exhibition has been sensitively curated to form a collection of images that is at once distinct and ambiguous. The show casts a long, sideways glance at the nature of intimacy, loneliness, and abandonment.
Throughout the publication precisely culled extracts from hundreds of written submissions act as clues as to the first issues manifesto. Like all aspects of the publication, nothing stated or shown is ever obvious. Some Ways to Disappear resides in the misty-eyed space between the everyday and the dream.
Everything is lucid, nothing is apparent.
