Floating Signifiers

Inspired by Heraclitus's concept that "all that is observable flows continuously," Daan Paans explores how objects and phenomena constantly transform across time under the influence of a complex set of factors.

In this richly illustrated volume, fascinating case studies ranging from extinct aurochs to sci-fi meteorites and Indiana Jones's Golden Idol, Paans reveals how archetypal forms continue to shape contemporary visual culture. His multimedia approach combines photography, video, 3D renders, and sculpture to examine humanity's evolving relationship with ecology, offering profound insights into the fluid nature of time and space.

Championing new and emerging writers alongside established authors, the anthology features voices across all narrative forms including fiction, poetry, memoir, essay and flash-fiction. The anthology will comprise of 30 pieces, the winning entries from an international competition to capture the best of queer writing today. The previous two anthologies included writers from Botswana to Minneapolis, San Francisco to Spain featuring both established and new voices.

This is writing that explores characters, stories and experiences beyond the mainstream. Celebrating the fascinating, the forbidden, the subversive, and even the mundane, but in essence, the view from outside.
