Useless Fighters #2
From cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to illegal drug production and trade in Lebanon, the alleged site of Noah’s Ark in Türkiye, to giant solar fields in China, this new issue of USELESS FIGHTERS explores real geopolitical, economical and religious stakes embedded in mountains.
With contributions and art from: Gabriel Moses, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Sophie Stafford, Gerhard Richter, Yumna al-Arashi, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ilyes Griyeb, Thomas Lohr, The North Face...
USELESS FIGHTERS is a new publication that resists the tired clichés of snow play and Alpine tourism, to show how fascinating and important mountains are to culture, politics, identity, sport, and the world. A beautiful, contemporary biannual that reimagines the mountains for a new audience.
Published by PERMANENT.FILES, a new creative joint venture between visionary designer-entrepreneur Ramdane Touhami and art director Léonard Vernhet (EPOCH Review). Permanent is a 360° creative entity, it specializes in the creation, curation and production of publications, image and new ideas through magazines, film, books, clothing and more.
Useless Fighters resists the tired clichés of snow play and Alpine tourism, to show how fascinating and important mountains are to culture, politics, faith, language, economy, identity, sport, and the world. A beautiful, contemporary biannual that reimagines the mountains for a new audience.
Mountains are not the sole terrain of resorts and recreation. From cobalt mining in the D.R.Congo, to illegal drug production and trade in Lebanon, the alleged site of Noah’s Ark in Türkiye, to giant solar fields in China, this new issue explores real geopolitical, economical and religious stakes embedded in mountains.
Another lushly produced issue that takes one of the most important landforms on Earth as a starting point to look at creativity, politics and culture. USELESS FIGHTERS presents the mountain in a different way – through photography, fashion, art, personalities, sport, conversation and narrative. A document of the people who live, work, ride, climb, cross, play, explore, hike, drive across and creatively engaged with mountain ranges.
