Pataicola Photobooks

Editorial design | Photography

Fugar is a photobook that documents my journey through the streets of Beijing, chasing fleeting silhouettes in times of Covid uncertainty. Designed as part of Pataicola Art and Design Lab, it was presented alongside other independent publications at local book fairs in Beijing and Hangzhou in 2023.

Among these other books, there was Traces, a photographic collection of visual textures found while walking on a street area of Chaoyanglu, and Urban Visa, a zine that explores Beijing's manholes as grid patterns and stamps in a fictional urban passport.

Whether a shadow, a pattern, or a trace, these three books reveal how the most insignificant detail can become a source of wonder, discovered in the very street one walks every day, as if some difference could be found in the monotone, repetitive routine.
