Apartamento Issue 36
Autumn/Winter 2025, with Noreen Masud on Charleston House, Louis Fratino in New York, Graciela Iturbide in Mexico City, Takashi Homma in Tokyo, Moki Cherry's schoolhouse at Tågarp, Lourdes Castro on Madeira, and a short story by Mariana Enriquez.
The issue opens with "Time 2 Kill", a series of pastimes by Jody Barton. Philippa Snow visits Isamaya Ffrench in London, Jordan Weitzman the painter Louis Fratino in New York City, Zico Judge the filmmaker Dea Kulumbegashvili between Berlin and eastern Georgia, Carmen Hall Moki Cherry's schoolhouse, Craig Mod the photographer Takashi Homma in Tokyo, Olukemi Lijadu Taiwo Lijadu of the Lijadu Sisters, Noreen Masud Charleston House at Lewes, Robbie Whitehead Konstantin Kakanias and Joe Pickman in Los Angeles, Leah Singer Lourdes Castro at Caniço, Vusumzi Nkomo the ceramicist Zizipho Poswa in Cape Town, Ramón Reverté Graciela Iturbide, Sandy Powell the set designer Simon Costin at Launceston, Fabio Cherstich Valerie Giampietro and Alessandro Cicoria in Rome and John Douglas Millar Anita Vitale in New York City. Arquitectura-G call Christian Kerez an architect from outer space, and Laura Frade's "This is not a house" features Ignasi Monreal and friends in Madrid. Enriquez's "Nelly", translated by Megan McDowell, runs with "Mrs Tependris Takes a Bath".
Takashi Homma's own photobooks are held elsewhere in this library, and his first appearance in Apartamento was in issue 5, in 2010, so the interview here closes a fifteen-year loop.
