Polar Inertia
Polar  Inertia is on the move, documenting the diverse "nomadic and popular culture" around the globe. In its manifesto, this photographic magazine promises to tell "the story of the highway, mobile home, fast food chain, suburbanite, truck stop, and industrialized landscape." And it does so in spectacular installments every two months. The newest issue showcases portraits of lifeguard stands on Los Angeles beaches, an anatomy of Hong Kong noodle shops, a view into a polar ice station on Rudolf Island, and a visit to the "ephemeral cities" that line the Spanish coast. Regular readers of Picks may recognize one feature; we highlighted Polar Inertia's paean to Quonset Huts last year. It's long past time that we tipped our hats to the journal as a whole for its fantastic offerings. (in Design Arts) |
