This zine is the response to the call that PhotoBook Club Madrid proposed in June 2013 under the name A3facto, which consisted of making a publication from an DIN A3 size paper. For this 2020 edition, the so-called Amargura edition consists of two A3s, to make reading easier.

To activate this zine it is necessary to turn each double page, like someone turning a kaleidoscope of paper. The result is reminiscent of an alphabet, in which letters appear and disappear each time the paper rotates, although we cannot read anything.

Anna Atkins’ British Algae is an hommage and a celebration of the first ever published photobook, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions hand made and self publishef on 1843 by Anna Atkins.

This zine was firstly published on 14 October 2013, on the 170th anniversary of Atkins book, following the data written on the copy that belongs in the British Library.

To play this zine you’ll need to twist every double as a paper kaleidoscope, and British seaweed will rotate and dance forming new specimens to complete your own herbarium.
