    #2 Youth Issue#2 Youth Issue /AW – 2013/ discusses intensely charged subject of youth that has a personal meaning to all of us.

Current Obsession pursues the subject by means of collective discussions, series of interviews and editorial collaborations.

    #3 Fake Issue#3 Fake Issue / SS – 2014 / Current Obsession finds itself caught up in the issue of Fake. Fake deconstructs a given identity and makes deep marks into the superficiality of value, production and glamour. It also captures a sense of humour and engagement we as a magazine feel inspired by.

    #4 Supernatural Issue#4 Supernatural Issue / 2015 / attempts to connect the mystical notions of shamanism and magic to the creative process itself. While the concept of the artist as shaman was elaborated by artists in the mid-20th century, we were curious to find out how it’s reflected in today’s world. Essentially, it’s about creating one’s own narrative, mythology and belief system, while daring to challenge the conventions of art and design.

    #5 Vernacular Issue#5 Vernacular Issue / 2016 / Every day we choose to wear jewellery. We stand in front of the mirror and pick up the one piece we know will work with that particular outfit, the occasion, the message we want to send out into the world. Every morning we choose to make a statement… without words. This subtle system of communication, known as jewellery, has been used for centuries, and is being used today, at this moment, right now.

    #6 Cult Issue#6 Cult Issue is a limited edition publication (run of 500) that combines luscious photography and fictional stories, to create an as yet realised world. We invite you to imagine Cult as alternative reality – where jewellery is a unifying signifier, a secret message, or a catalyst for personal mythologies and rituals.

    #7 Used Future Issue#7 Issue deals with the subject of self-enhancement through adornment as well as that of the transhistorical persistence of transformative objects. Distant points from across time and various media have been brought together in this magazine to create a non-linear narrative through which the various ‘stages’ of transformation can be considered, speculated on, imagined and theorised.
