Useless Fighters
USELESS FIGHTERS is a new publication that resists the tired clichés of snow play and Alpine tourism, to show how fascinating and important mountains are to culture, politics, identity, sport, and the world. A beautiful, contemporary biannual that reimagines the mountains for a new audience.
With contributions from artists, photographs and fashion designers such as Francis Alÿs, Lea Colombo, Setsumasa Kobayashi, Philippe Parreno, Yukari Chikura, Nigel Cabourn, Marvin Leuvrey, Abdellah Taïa, Francesca Gavin, Karim Boukercha, Quentin De Briey, Daquisiline Gomis…
Mountains are not the sole terrain of European resorts and recreation. USELESS FIGHTERS corrects the old fashioned, white tourist fantasy. It looks at mountains from a global perspective – through photography, fashion, art, personalities, sport, conversation and narrative.
A lushly produced publication that takes one of the most important landforms on Earth as a starting point to look at creativity, politics and culture.
A document of the people who live, work, ride, climb, cross, play, explore, hike, drive across and creatively engaged with mountain ranges.
Published by PERMANENT.FILES, a new creative joint venture between visionary designer-entrepreneur Ramdane Touhami and art director Léonard Vernhet (EPOCH Review). Permanent is a 360° creative entity, it specializes in the creation, curation and production of publications, image and new ideas through magazines, film, books, clothing and more.
