I put you on a pedestal of my fantasies as a muse.
Since then, I’ve been feeling magnetized and primitive at the same time.
What kind of mask do you want to wear today?

What identity should I choose for myself?
Stitch by stitch, I created a colorful space for us.
It’s a just wicked game but you can feel safe with me.

IV.

Following up on our last year’s Family Business editorial from Hotel Krystal, SWARM MAG today releases its accompanying video, IV. Along with our three previous clips it presents our visual identity, this time in the form of a peek at the usual workday of a secret occultist troupe of office workers at their 9-to-5, figuring out how to make a profit off a non-profit magazine.
Marcelo Pinel has long been exploring themes which fascinate the inner child. His works translate archetypes, mythologies and spirituality into vivid animations, actualizing how humans have expressed the inexpressible across millennia.
Nina Bachmann’s vivid paintings explore the veneers and facades of all we deem pleasant. The ecstatic expressions of her androgynous figures seem to carry an uncanny other side palpable only experientially, balancing momentary joy and looming withdrawal. Join us today for an interview with the artist and in asking whether intoxication is really as pleasurable and positive as it seems or just a disguise of human abysses.
Vincent Snijder’s approaches to design range from 3D scans & prints to animations created with audio software, and inspirations spanning movie and gaming culture all the way to anthropology and history. One guiding line in his works however is an investigation of human rituals and cultures, both physical and intangible. Today you get a chance to explore even some of his upcoming artworks, accompanied by curatorial texts and Vincent’s personal insights.
