HYPER HYPO

HER MESS by Olga Migliaressi-Phoca, the latest Hyper Hypo publication. What began as a guerilla flyposting action across three metropolises (Athens, Berlin, Mexico City) in which the artist @olgamph turns women’s “imperfections” into luxury items worthy of their own fashion style advertising campaign, is now a richly illustrated document/catalogue of the ephemeral project. Playing with the visual language of high-fashion branding, the project riffs on the iconic Hermes logo, transforming it into Her Mess—a tongue-in-cheek brand that reframes femininity behind the scenes. What is often considered messy, taboo, or unpresentable is recast with humor, care, and a sense of luxury. By occupying public space, Her Mess disrupts expectations, confronting viewers with what is typically erased or polished away. With a brilliant essay by @kasiasophia Available now in the shop and online. #hyperhypo

We don’t want to say that we’re obsessed with our national film superstar Yorgos Lanthimos, but, if we were, there are plenty of reasons. VISCIN, newly published by @mack_publishing , is the third photo book (in stock) by the auteur filmmaker, photographer and it’s yet another item on the list of why he’s the best. Ok, maybe we are obsessed. This latest collection of still photographs was made around the sets and locations of his 2025 feature Bugonia. Shot spontaneously between takes, Lanthimos’s photographs present a story untethered to the film and its narrative conventions and once again he uses the possibilities of the book form to explore new modes of storytelling. Moving between offbeat compositions, uncanny portraiture, and evocative landscapes and reflections, Lanthimos weaves a tale of mystery and illusion, death and renewal, imbued with the psychological intensity and eerie modality characteristic of his work. The physical form of the publication invokes the unspooling of a film reel, using an accordion or leporello fold to create a sculptural object. The resulting sequence unfurls a narrative of foreboding, violence, and rebirth, told through a progression of black-and-white into colour imagery. VISCIN’s unique visuality sees Lanthimos draw on these broad strands of his oeuvre to form a distinctive and enigmatic new world. Available now in the shop and online. #hyperhypo

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is an urgent and necessary reckoning about what it means to live in the West today. As an immigrant, Omar El Akkad believed the West would be a place of freedom and justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the various Wars on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, he has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. This powerful book is a chronicle of that painful realisation, a moral grappling with what it means – as a citizen of the US, as a father – to carve out some sense of possibility during these devastating times.

Everyone knows and loves the iconic murals and paintings of the legendary Keith Haring, but less known is his sculptural work, which was an integral part of his practice from the beginning. The new book Keith Haring in 3D from @monacellipress shines a light on these pieces featured in the major new exhibition at @crystalbridgesmuseum From the moment he landed in NYC in 1978, Keith Haring took three-dimensional objects – whether discards on the street, household appliances, or subway walls – as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies inspired creative connections beyond the boundaries of the art world: Haring collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an now-famous session during which he made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. Although his career was brief, Keith Haring’s sculpture practice was a significant and integral facet of his extensive oeuvre, with his three-dimensional artworks found in museums and art collections worldwide.

Forever antifascist, but now more than ever. Antifascist Architecture new from @park_books Architects, historians, and theorists have been obsessed with fascist architecture since postmodernism. But who are the antifascist architects? What does antifascist architecture look like? This book is the first attempt at creating a working definition. Significant scholarship has already been presented about anti-colonial architecture, militant modernism, liberation architecture, and so forth, yet antifascist architecture is an avenue that remains to be explored. Antifascist Architecture collects a kaleidoscope of diverse architects who heroically aligned themselves with antifascist struggles around the world. It is written for students and practitioners of architecture, but also activists and scholars in the social sciences who are interested in antifascist history, theory, and practice.

Still can’t get over that David Lynch is no longer with us. This book is the ultimate guide to his work and his world. A world many of us will never forget. Without David Lynch, our world would have been a much more ordinary place. As a filmmaker, screenwriter, designer, musician, visual artist and living avatar of all things uncanny, his influence pervaded every corner of our culture. Alongside his game-changing TV series “Twin Peaks”, Lynch also created big-screen masterpieces such as his DIY debut “Eraserhead” and unconventional mystery thrillers “Blue Velvet”, “Lost Highway” and “Mulholland Drive”. But Lynch was also a cult figure in his own right, releasing albums under his own name, staging art shows, photography exhibitions and design showcases from LA to Milan, and sharing his spiritual philosophy and love of Transcendental Meditation with audiences around the globe.

Love in a Time of Allegory by Nicholas Muellner, from one of our favorite series of pocket sized books published by @selfpublishbehappy Love in a Time of Allegory asks how we can still feel, desire, and imagine in an age of relentless realism. Moving between images and text, Nicholas Muellner’s illustrated essay turns to allegory as a way of thinking through politics, love, and meaning when private life is inseparable from public crisis. Haunted by political and ecological anxiety and by the erosion of shared truths, Muellner argues that realism jeopardises our capacity to imagine the world as anything other than it already is, asking how fiction and metaphor might open other ways of seeing. The book unfolds as a meditation on desire and belief, on how intimacy persists within disillusionment, and how emotion becomes a form of resistance. Drawing on histories of art, literature, and philosophy, Muellner proposes that allegory, like love, keeps open the possibility of connection in a fractured world. Love and allegory resist the flattening of experience, insisting that imagination remains a radical, collaborative act capable of transforming even the most precarious realities into tenderness and hope.
