MUGAAS, Eline and Elise STORSVEEN. Album.

(Brooklyn, NY and Oslo): Primary Information and Teknisk Industri, 2014.  First edition thus.  Quarto.  Unpaginated.  Massive volume collecting the first ten issues of this cult zine.  Comprised of full page photographic illustrations, advertisements, and other ubiquitous media images culled from etiquette manuals, cookbooks, travel magazines, craft books, fashion magazines, and sexual manuals, ALBUM reflects the popular imagery found in Scandinavian households from the 1960s through the 1980s. The chosen imagery is then arranged across spreads, creating a sophisticated and humorous reading organized by a series of heavy themes such as  the lonely man, femininity, architecture, family, outer space, and nature. While seemingly whimsical, ALBUM provides a sophisticated meta-narrative on the human body, sexuality, and the social lives of images that places the reader in an uncanny arena that showcases how our media likely reads us.  A very good copy in illustrated wrappers.  Some creasing to covers.
