Photographer Paul Kookier and publisher Willem van Zoetendaal are co-curating a new bi-monthly journal called Archivo. Now in its third issue, the journal is dedicated to the personal archives of photographers with each issue showcasing two artists. It is designed to be read like a newspaper which annoyed me at first. When this last issue arrived, I found that the size and paper complimented the themes of the common, everyday and ordinary in Kooiker and Qui Yang's work . It is also works well with both photographers in the previous issue especially the documentary project by Daya Cahen on Putin's summer youth camps . It is designed for casual viewing not to be considered a precious object. The work of Daya Cahen and Paul Kooiker are show in the videos below and the covers of Kooiker's books, Hunting and Fishing, Showground, and Seminar are shown above.
