What Is A Zine?

Zines, short for magazines, have a rich history rooted in DIY culture, self-expression, and countercultural movements. Zines provided an accessible platform for individuals to share their thoughts, ideas, and creative works outside of mainstream media channels.

Zines Vol.1 & 2 feature 64 pages filled with Matt Adam's groundbreaking photography, sure to inspire for years to come. Dive into some of the most prolific work that will captivate your imagination and creativity.

Photography Recontextualized

Several of the photos featured in the zines have been recontextualized as artworks for the renowned street art project Unwrap & Steal, curated by Matt Adam. Through this global initiative, Adam puts his art up in the streets of cities worldwide, sparking a raw and unfiltered response as people race to steal the art from its location, disregarding conventional rules. It is democratizing the acquisition of art.
