Swiss artist Ingo Giezendanner’s beautiful new zine for Nieves Books is called Baku & Back. Ingo G. made the drawings on a cultural exchange trip he took from Switzerland to the Caucasus. The cultural exchange part didn’t work out but we get to keep the drawings. The amount of white paper left between the lines might have an inverse relation to amount of caffeine in the artist’s bloodstream. Coffee-fired or not, his enthusiasm for looking and drawing is contagious. Ingo says, “This is my statement to go out, see the world and avoid airplanes.” What timely travel advice!
