Apartamento Issue 35 brings together fifteen distinctive home portraits alongside fiction, screenplays, and criticism, making it one of the most literarily ambitious instalments of the magazine to date.
About This Book
Since 2008, Apartamento has built its reputation on a deceptively simple premise: that the spaces people actually inhabit — lived-in, layered, imperfect — are more revealing than any staged interior. Issue 35 holds to that conviction while expanding its literary scope. Featured subjects range from filmmaker Darius Khondji and artist Vivian Suter to writer Leïla Slimani and designer Dan Friedman, each documented with the magazine's characteristic intimacy. Original fiction by Robert Plunket and a screenplay by Efthimis Filippou sit alongside critical texts from Durga Chew-Bose, Charlie Porter, and others. For readers who treat interior culture as a lens onto broader questions of identity and everyday life, this issue is essential reading.
