How do you feel about the current street scene in Berlin? Could you tell us anything new happening if any?

The streets get more crowded by Traphic.

Traphic (Unagi Books)

You launched an imprint, Unagi Books, in October, what was the reason behind this launch?

This project is about artbook publishing: our aim is to put out a series of books that feature various artists on their solo-projects. Since we have been publishing “Lodown”, an art-related magazine, on a regular basis for over 10 years now, we were able to establish a vast network of connections with artists from all over the world.

As to why we decided to establish the Unagi book series: We simply wanted to present each artist’s work individually, without being placed in a magazine context. By presenting the artwork in a book format, we believe we’ll be able to make stronger impressions with the artists’ works, as books don’t have the ephemeral quality of magazines. Also, we want to widen the artists’ publicity throughout the medium.
