032c Magazine #46 – Winter 2024/25

032c is the bi-annual culture magazine covering art, fashion and politics, which has reached something of cult-status since its inception. Founded by Joerg Koch in 2000 in Berlin, 032c has been hailed for its in-depth retrospectives on designers and artists, and thought provoking journalism coupled with glossy photo shoots by A-list photographers.

IN THIS ISSUE

032c Issue #46 is dedicated to legacies and those who make them.
Appropriately, the dossier sets the tone with the ABC of APHEX TWIN, where Cassidy George explores the musician’s impact on culture.

“That’s what V does, he creates these utopian spaces where things can happen,” American rapper TRAVIS SCOTT says about Swiss architect VALERIO OLGIATI’s work during their conversation about their non-narrative approaches. It is accompanied by a Brent McKeever shoot of Scott styled by Peri Rosenzweig and Nick Royal and juxtaposed with Olgiati’s buildings.

Elsewhere, COLLIER SCHORR explores the new nuanced masculinity in an editorial, and Claire Koron Elat talks to artist JON RAFMAN about the nightmares of reality. Ulf Poschardt speaks to FERRARI CEO BENEDETTO VIGNA about Heidegger while Piotr Niepsuj shows us the inside of the sports car’s factory.

TIMOTHY SNYDER explains why freedom is related to the body and Olympic Gold Medalist JESSICA VON BREDOW-WERNDL talks about horses and performance with Maria Koch, which is illustrated by a Max von Gumppenberg shoot. Shane Anderson pays FITZCARRALDO EDITIONS a visit to learn the publishing house’s secrets and Cathy Horyn enlightens us about legendary designer RUDI GERNREICH. Brent McKeever maxes STELLA MAXWELL out in Miami in a shoot styled by Ras Bartram, and Sean + Seng get AMELIA GRAY to go pink in a Lynchian setting.

Plus the X-Files introduce stars of the 032c universe, including swamp princess DOECHII, a satisfied AUS TAYLOR, girlhood queen PETRA COLLINS, sarcophagus-manufacturer RICK OWENS, oh-so-vicious VTSS, death-obsessed MAGGIE DUNLAP, Irish doom folklorists LANKUM, design studio extraordinaire TOR, eternal pranksters WU MING, anti-doomer BEN WARE, and volcano lover ADRIANO SACK. As always, the BERLIN REVIEW rounds out the issue with our favorite books of the season.
