Visionaire 55: Magazine Turned Pop-up Book

Visionaire, the multi-format art and fashion magazine, continues to impress with their 55th issue. This holiday issue was engineered by Bruce Foster and utilizes complex 3D environments with classic pop-up techniques.  The entire magazine is presented in a sleek enclosure of magnetized latches and dark purple housing.  Visionaire began in 1991 and now publishes three times a year, each issue with a drastically different format for delivering cutting edge artistic presentations.  Its pages serve as a springboard for budding artists and designers, allowing them surprising artistic freedoms within the given theme.

The Visionaire 55 is a showcase of impressive pop-ups by Sophie Calle, Nicola Formichetti with Gareth Pugh, Cai Guo-Quiang, Andreas Gursky, Steven Klein, Yayoi Kusama, Alasdair McLellan, Steven Meisel, Guido Mocafico, Solve Sundsbo and Mario Testino.
