Kulturfolger opens up to our world’s anomalies, unfathomable natures, multiple perspectives and infinite possibilities. An incubator where questions, dilemmas, and wavering are embraced and explored through a non-traditional, open format. The project encourages collaborative and intimate procedures among the agencies involved, ranging among different practices, approaches and attitudes. Sharing a common understanding, stimulating a universal utopia, mixing individual contributions with a collective outlook; the strength spurs and disseminates its potential made of humanity, animality, naturalness.
Kulturfolger is a bi-city curatorial project and celebration of adaptability and acceptance which highlights the nuanced relationships between plant, animal and human. Kulturfolger, a Swiss German word, is loosely translated as animals which thrive in cultured landscapes. The Kulturfolger project provides space to question human nature and ponder breaks in normalcy; fertility of the concrete, and the uncanny happenstance that promotes and defies interconnection. The aim of the publication and associated interventions is to expose and uncover the raw, messy, intimate, nature and culture of perceived world. The first issue of Kulturfolger inspires a living breathing tangibility of this discourse by incorporating exchange between Zurich and San Francisco.

Kulturfolger Issue 1 is a limited edition of 1000 copies, printed in Zürich. The magazine layout consists of 60 page format, with a complicated structure which demonstrates the spiral nature of many interpretations, natures and worlds. The magazine is bi-lingual and is pulling site specific works from the two sister cities, as well as a few from beyond such as the Swiss alps and the hills of Los Angeles.The flow of artist images and narrations navigate one through a challenging discourse of unseen networks and unknown territories.
