Apartamento Issue #38 is the latest edition of the Barcelona-based biannual that treats the home as a portrait of the person who lives in it.
About This Book
Artist and designer Dozie Kanu takes the cover, opening up the live/work studio he has made in the Portuguese countryside after leaving New York. In conversation with writer Camille Okhio, he talks candidly about loss, love and starting over, with portraits by José Pedro Cortes. Around him the issue gathers a characteristically wide cast — French author Constance Debré, painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, artist Martine Syms, Berlin-based musician Peaches and performance artist Joey Arias among them. As ever, Apartamento favours long, unhurried conversation and unstyled photography over polish, making each issue as much a record of how creative people live as a guide to interiors.
