Alphaville 3000



Images and cover photo for a magazine
 


This editorial design, created by two fellow students won a competition brief and was published in April 2026. The articles were created in collaboration with a cultural journalism master's course in Munich. Inspired by the 1960s film noir 'Alphaville‘, it explores contemporary issues through a retrofuturistic lens, questioning whether we already live in a technofeudalistic dystopia, or if there's still room for a more hopeful outlook on the future.

In this project, I had the great opportunity to shoot the cover photo and use my personal picture archive to accompany and enhance the editorial design, illustrations and text of the magazine. In close collaboration with my classmates and the people from Munich, I was able to incorporate some excerpts from my personal photo archive, as well as to work with some selected external photographic sources.
