'The spirit of Gemini is best captured by the word 'collaboration.' It's about artists and printers working hand in hand to create works of art. This same spirit prevails when I take photos.

Started as a xerox zine, a saturated compilation of drawings done by amateurs, musicians or comics authors, Nazi Knife explored, in its more recent issues, some more singular editorial approaches: the publication seen as a library, as a collection of motley elements, where raw materials, symbolic references or cultural products could be combined, or as the visual repetition of few fetishistic obsessions, modulated by an architecture of filters, quite opaque to say the least.

The latest issue in the publications’ 20-year history looks at the innately human desire to create systems and how artists across the world interpret this subject.

Many artists create their own systems and methods; setting up rules for creating their art, sorting their materials, following specific schedules, creating new worlds. In a way, such structures provide us with a framework for stretching the possibilities of our creative freedom.
