vivo issue 2: Care 

What kinds of attention does care demand, and what does it resist?

The book, in its physical form, forces us to stop, it requires physical involvement because we know how uncomfortable reading can be. The very creation of the magazine is, as the name suggests, living matter. It does not arise from an empty search for culture, but rather from a desire for humanity. A book can be a vehicle of knowledge, but also of revolution and change. Vivo wishes to use books and printed paper to observe fragments of humanity that coexist in the present, past and future. Hence the choice to cover the cover with an orange patina that can (must!) be scratched, experienced, without worrying about ruining the magazine, but rather considering every scratch as a sign of appreciation for the reading being done.
