Plethora Publication (DK)

For CHART Book & Print Fair 2025, Plethora will present the newly released special edition of Plethora Magazine #13 “Poetics of Emptiness”

Plethora Magazine edition no. 13 “ Poetics of Emptiness” is centered around the unique ability of paper as medium to convey a compelling experience of emptiness and meaning, absence and presence, through a delicate interplay of light, shadow and ink on a textured surface – the same contours along which the entire history of mankind can be traced back for thousands of years… and very unlike the smooth, synthetic digital surface which can never express positive and sublime nothingness.

Among philosophical meditations on the 8 fundamental layers of emptiness, and complimentary image series, the sculptural portfolio edition will feature 8 original reproductions of paper works from international artists that each encapsulate the subtle presence of emptiness through manual techniques of pressing, folding, embossing and perforations along with specialized off-set printing.

Featured Artists: Ruth Asawa, Kenya Hara, Ronan Bouroullec, Miho Kajioka, Frank Stella, Amanda Betz, Yoshio Ikezaki, Hélio Oiticica, Jack Whitten, Henrik Saxgren, Paolo Galgani, Marco Rapaccini, Hasegawa Tōhaku, Henry Fox Talbot, Steven Yeung, Josef Albers, Aleksandra Kucharska, J. M. W. Turner and more.
