The dating-app profile of an Israeli combatant. Documented in our book SHORT-TERM, BUT LONG-TERM, which will be available at the fair in London this weekend. The decision to censor the names and faces was made by the author, based on expert guidance, due to safety concerns for the author.

Introducing a new product category: artifacts connected to our books and international network of sources. This Thursday, May 7th at 8 PM CET. These items originate from our physical archive, assembled to make your connection to our work and the 550BC universe more tangible. Some were preserved within the archive; others were always intended to be shared. Our first release focuses on battlefield relics from the Russo-Ukrainian War. @archive550bc

A Ukrainian field at sunset, covered in fiber-optic cables from the FPV drone warfare. Documented in our book KILL FOR POINTS. Beyond the human toll, the drone war leaves cables, batteries, and electronic debris scattered across the environment.

Word is bond. We were able to return this original photo from our book ONCE UPON A HOOD to the woman in the photograph. Taken in December, 1985, the photo shows her and her late husband. It was confiscated shortly afterward and spent decades in the hands of gang unit officers and private collectors before eventually reaching us. Nearly 40 years later, with the help of their son, we were finally able to return it to her. They don’t have many photos of him, which makes this one especially meaningful. Thank you @j_godoy310

An inmate and his girlfriend pose for a portrait on visiting day at the prison, standing in front of a painted backdrop mural created by inmates for these occasions. The original analog photograph was scanned and preserved for our latest book, ONCE UPON A HOOD, now down to its final copies.
