Lampoon is an imposing fashion, photography and culture magazine from Italy. Over recent issues the magazine has quietly transitioned from a high end glossy to something much more thoughtful and provocative while retaining its editorial quality and impressive production values. About Lampoon #32, 'SOAP', from the publisher: 'SOAP is a journey through stains, purity, and contradiction – a visual and textual exploration that stretches from microplastics in oceans to blood on our hands. Soap as the act of cleansing, but also as a metaphor: of moral stains, of humanity’s endless cycle of defeat and renewal. Soap is never just soap. It washes, it heals, it purifies – but it also reveals. Lampoon 32 dives into the paradox: what does it mean to be clean, when the act of cleaning dirties the water itself? From polluted rivers to stained consciences, this issue uncovers the truth that every life carries its own grime, that sincerity emerges only through contradiction.' Show more
