Entirely visual, Sixteen Journal allows a platform for emerging and established artists to share their work outside of their usual commercial habitat. Each issue offers a great study of people as subjects—portraits, street shots, posed and more, across its full bleed pages.
The thirteenth issue is dedicated to ‘The Golden Record’, a phonograph record collating diverse sounds, images and spoken languages pertaining to ‘our planetary condition’ that was placed aboard the Voyager spacecraft in 1977 in the hopes of making contact with extraterrestrial life forms.
Inside, find a rich tapestry of portraits, abstract landscapes and magnified still lifes, with contributions from the NASA Archives, Leon Borensztein, Richard Mosse, Michal Chelbin, Jack Davison, Caroline Corbasson, Andrea Montano, Laurence Ellis, Jess Ruby James, Diego Bendezu, Lia Lazaro, Riccardo Maria Chiacchio and more. Highlights include Jack Davison’s arresting close up studies of newts atop decaying leaves, Diego Bendezu’s portraits of Peruvian rituals, and Richard Mosse’s hyper saturated images of the destruction of the Amazon.
