an immersive experience by antonio matrēs
our first journal defines the meaning of the term “void” through the eyes of a multi field group of creatives. dedicated to explore our interaction with what’s around us. from the intimate relationship between our skin and the piece of fabric we wear to our connection with a city or the universe.
the book intends to go further. it takes the reader on a mental journey into the deepest core of the void. an experimental publication where text and breathtaking images are combined with audios, videos, textures…
this first issue uses our own voice and the proper storytelling approach for future publications.
this is the beginning of our journey.
we hope you enjoy all the time spend on making it a piece of art.
volume one_ to outfit the void
in this volume
to outfit the void is cradled within a box that unveils a trilogy of artistic endeavor:
1. eugenio bargueño's limited engraving series: the print is a testament to the depth of voids we seek to fill. bargueño's work, exclusive to this first volume invites you into a dialogue with the abstract. a unique exploration of space and emptiness.
2. handmade box by ukrainian ceramists of faina design: crafted with the resilience and spirit of ukraine's artistry, this ceramic vessel is more than a container; it's a piece of history, a bearer of stories from hands that shape beauty in the face of adversity.
3. a limited edition book: this volume is an odyssey into the essence of the void, where words and images merge to guide you through unseen landscapes. each page is a step further into understanding the spaces that define us, beckoning you to explore beyond the tangible.
together, these pieces form a constellation of creativity, a curated experience designed to move, inspire, and transform.
this is not just a book; it's an invitation to journey through the layers of meaning and artistry that raīz embodies.
