CURA. 45 Blackout presents two covers featuring portraits by Nadya Tolokonnikova and R.I.P. Germain, photographed by Tsarina Merrin, and accompanied by a third, all-black limited edition “blackout” cover. Texts by Cat Kron and Jennifer Piejko accompany Nadya Tolokonnikova’s feature, while Josephine Pryde writes about R.I.P. Germain. A major visual section features newly commissioned projects by Petra Cortright, Sophia Al-Maria, R.I.P. Germain, Aleksandra Domanović (introduced by Brian Droitcour), alongside a gif-novel by Dennis Cooper that collects and assembles some of the internet’s most unsettling images.
