The Magazine
Epistrophe Magazine is a motion container of curated content that speaks and responds to the needs of contemporary society by proposing a new way of contemplating the editorial philosophy through short videos. Each issue will visually depict a selected poem, and through its content, the public will unravel the idiosyncratic world created by the writer. Epistrophe is an annual magazine offering a space for emerging talents to display their works through videos that will be available to be explored anywhere in the world by means of a website.
The theme of the first edition surrounds the message behind the poem “A Flor e a Náusea” by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, which is the importance of a pure demonstration of affection and feelings to free society from a lack of meaning. The miscellany of words in the poem doesn’t necessarily mirror reality. Therefore, its interpretation is all about unraveling the unreal. In order to visually and cohesively depict the metaphors of Drummond, the magazine will follow the Japanese philosophy of Mono no Aware. This aesthetic reasoning advocates for the pathos of everything in our surroundings. It suggests the presentation of emotions through the eyes of minimalism and unspoken meanings. Epistrophe Magazine invites the public to delve into the world of “A Flor e a Náusea” in the hope of experiencing different expressions of affection through the eyes of the collaborators invited to share their art and feelings.
