Issue Nº2 Skinscrapers

Issue Nº2 Skinscrapers

$40.00

Skinscrapers probes how our bodies interact with the spaces around them and how the spaces we inhabit can become extensions of our bodies. By focusing on the surface of the skin as a natural mediator, Skinscrapers navigates a continuum of scale, starting inside the gut, proceeding to the contours of the body, and culminating in the anthropomorphic city. At every waypoint along this trajectory, Skinscrapers reaches human-ward, investigates social issues of human-scaled proportions, and cultivates meaningful moments along and within the epidermis. Akin to Groundscrapers before it, Skinscrapers believes that the printed page can transcend the bookshelf—that print media can orient itself with the human body, according to anatomical and architectural coordinates.
