seaside magic [zine]

$3.00

by luke kurtis

Languishing from the pandemic, the artist took a personal retreat by the sea and resolved to spend his days away from computer screens and focus on slowing down, observing nature, making sketches, and creating a restorative and healing experience with his partner. seaside magic, the resulting body of work, is a poetic document of those days that combines photography, video, poetry, drawing, music, and design.

The zine collects drawings, poetry, and video stills from the multimedia body of work. Originally designed as a limited edition with a special cover of handmade paper, it is part of the artist’s object box of emanations. This standalone edition has a standard cover.

  • A zine cover featuring the title "CLOUDS LOVE LIFE" in stylized, geometric font. The title is displayed in three lines with each word centered. Behind the title text, there is an illustration of an airplane soaring through clouds at high speed, giving a sense of motion. In the bottom right corner of the illustration, small text reads, "TEN MILES A MINUTE—A MILE IN SIX SECONDS." The author's name, "Michael Harren," is positioned at the bottom of the cover in bold, black font.

  • A composite of three vertical video stills against a black background. Each panel captures a high-contrast, ghostly profile of a figure in motion blur. The face is abstracted into streaks of blown-out white and warm light, creating a sense of rapid, loop-based repetition and fragmentation.

  • High-contrast, front-facing portrait of a man in a black beanie and sunglasses against a pitch-black background. His face is heavily blown out with white light, overlaid with a distorted, double-exposed projection of warm orange horizontal scan lines across his eyes and forehead.
