Carcy / 14

Since day one, we have embraced madness (or is it clairvoyance?) as a spark of eccentricity in the pages of the magazine, but also as a form of resistance to a dictated and oppressive normality. So what makes us different? Are we really the crazy ones? The hysterical? The unfit? How come madness feels sane and sanity completely deranged? In our collapsing democracies, where dissent is pathologized, what is considered madness is madness is pushed further and further to the margins. And to us, many so-called “mad” individuals feel actually more attuned to reality than those who call themselves sane. For its new issue, CARCY navigates the chaos and layered paradoxes of madness — which one can also approach through its complementary mirror: mental health.

Carcy Magazine - a reference to undressing and stepping out of societal norms - is a Paris-born, large format journal focused on the topic and representation of eroticism. Its slick, minimalist design and hybrid contet seeks to portray all genders, identities, and sexualities, in order to sublimate and widen notions of beauty and sensuality.

Carcy comes twice a year with a sophisticated, pared-down aesthetic and a penchant for vintage, high-end quality photography, and portraiture. Visually, it draws on the history of the photography and narrative process of Cinema.

The magazine is about people and their link between something both intimate and universal, ancient acts constantly redefined by new norms and rules .
