Hunger is a biannual magazine from photographer and publisher, Rankin. Launched in November 2011 – 20 years after Dazed & Confused was founded, and 10 years after the birth of AnOther. Hunger provides a new platform for uncompromised self-expression, innovation and discovery. Working with both experienced and emerging talents in the arts, fashion and editorial, Hunger seeks out cultural progression and distinction.
In this issue:
Reality vs. Fantasy explores the push and pull between human and machine, analogue and algorithm, the lived and the imagined. Across studios, sets and darkrooms, there is a renewed appetite for the tactile, the slow, imperfect, deeply human craft of making images. It runs parallel to a world where entire universes are conjured in seconds through prompts rather than pigments.
Spring is, by nature, a season of change — so we treat transformation not as something to fear, but to consider. Our cover stars embody the theme instinctively: icons and inventors, realists and mythmakers, artists navigating the fascinating space where reality and fantasy collide.
