This booklet was published as a debriefing and contemporary document for the PEW PEW PEW art festival, organised by the Austrian artist group edition: between 2021 and 2022. The folded event poster on glossy paper serves as the cover, the core is printed on slightly greyish, uncoated paper – which creates a wonderful tactile experience.

The assemblage of mobile phone photos, cut-outs and strictly continued monospaced typography combine to create an exciting mix of impressions around the festival. The back of the magazine is to be understood as a subordinate mini-poster that documents the evening of the zine’s release once again.

About the festival, from the artist group’s website:

The highlight of our annual program is the PEW PEW PEW festival. The festival’s name illustrates laser-beam sounds and sets the pace. Artist groups (two or more people) are invited to stay for mini-residencies (4–5 days long) in Linz, in which they collaborate on a show of their work, which will be presented on the mini-residency’s last day.
