STILL LIFE is an interview-led zine that delves into the worlds of care, kink and choreography to explore stillness, passivity and power.
STILL LIFE is a zine about relationships and configurations in which one person is still while others are not. Or where one person is passive and others are active.
It’s about how we put ourselves in other people’s hands. Or how we are put in other people’s hands. It’s about care and power and vulnerability and agency. And other things not so clearly named. It’s about the different kinds of knowledge that people have about their own and other people’s bodies. And the kind of philosophical and political understandings woven into that knowledge.

“Succeeds in a deeper exploring of a caring practice than I have experienced from care ethics until now. He unravels and disentwines that particular situation to a new essence. He does that without the theoretical concepts about needing care and giving care, organization, power, politics, and even ethics. What happens when we focus solely on the physical interaction in a caring practice?”
