Document Journal – Issue #20

Document Journal is a spontaneous labor of love; a beautiful visual stream of consciousness forged by an incredibly talented team. Eash issue’s theme emerges subconsciously from complex collage of documents and their creators. With over 300 pages, this magazine is the only independent semi-annual journal in the U.S., featuring the best of each season in photography and writing.

In this issue:

What does New York mean today? For Document’s tenth anniversary, we simultaneously took a local and global approach to exploring what a city that changes like the seasons represents in a world that is hardly recognizable from the one we knew several years ago. Where can emerging cultural phenomena and new ideas be found? Can they be found?

These questions took us back to the burgeoning punk and avant-garde art scenes of the ’70s, throughout the city’s storied literary landscape, and into the future of cruising culture to discover the animating spirit that weaves together New York’s legendary past and its unpredictable rebirth.
