This magazine explores disturbe as a storytelling device, drawing a parallel between auditory disturbances and real-life disorders. In its first issue, the theme of sleep disorders is embodied by a mosquito, an intrusive presence that disrupts the narrative.
The layout unfolds across multiple layers: a central narrative is periodically broken by editorial articles, thematically aligned with the main story. The mosquito’s graphic interference causes parts of the text to vanish, only “z” characters remain visible where the disruption occurs. These lost fragments are not gone, they’re preserved on delicate translucent pages at the end of the volume. When overlaid on the main body, they restore the interrupted narrative, allowing readers to reconstruct the full text. The result is a publication that mimics the erratic rhythm of disturbed sleep, creating a tactile archive of fragmentation and recovery.
