It’s been a while … no, it’s actually been f%$ng long.
The pandemic has made us lethargic, or as Pink Floyd would say: Comfortably Numb.
It’s not that we haven’t tried to start a new KAGE project, we just never could get off the Covid couch. Frameworks, limitations and themes floated around but what’s logical, obvious, and clever to one person, feels contrived and artificial to another. So we’re keeping it simple, getting our asses into gear, and photographing February 2022 to the best of our abilities.
No rules
No limitations
No mutual theme
No strict deadlines
Just the desire to create.
In February we will all post stories, articles, single images, … on the website and our Instagram account. We are leaving hibernation behind to simply create, without the paralyzing grip of perfectionism. Someone floated the idea of a book at the end of this. Perhaps, but that’s getting ahead of ourselves. Do we need to have an end goal? The creative process is a weird thing, all we know is that if we get started, it will eventually lead somewhere. For now, that’s enough.
We know that many creatives have struggled in the last two years, so we’d like to invite you to join our project. We’re tired of being in a void, creating inside a bubble. Let’s all inspire ourselves, together, with stories and images. Use #KAGE202202 on Instagram, send us links to your stories, and spark the conversation in the comments.
Let’s light a fire, shall we?
