Editorial

Shot for the debut issue of Feral Magazine, “SVENTHING” by Steve Marais is a contradiction of abject ridicule and pure intention. At first glance, it’s just public indecency with a garnish of pasta. But look beyond that and you’ll see desire, humour, discomfort, shame—modern life, basically — all tangled together.

The series was conceptualised with London based performer Sven Ironside, and sometimes, an idea just sticks. The polished technique of a seasoned photographer collides with a performance artist’s deliberately scrappy chaos, forcing the viewer into a standoff: everything here is "wrong." Too slippery for the algorithm. Too sticky for the mainstream.

The first limited edition of Feral Magazine featuring "SVENTHING" and many more unique stores is now available. Order your copy here!
