Harbor & Grain ยท Issue 18

The ground is a page

An editorial laid flat, seen from above. Drive across the type. The pictures stand up and will shove back.

Harbor & Grain prints on uncoated stock the color of late bread. This issue is about surfaces that pretend to be flat: roads, pages, and the thin lie between them.

We sent a small car out with the proofs. It prefers the margins, brakes in the gutters, and treats every photograph as a curb. Nothing here is a real place. The light is mixed in a browser.

If you came for a route, take the long way between the columns. The blocks are the pictures. Push them. They remember where the tyres were.
