Under The Sun
Vol.1 Porsche
CALIFORNIA DREAMING – PORSCHE HEDONISM
Under the Sun. Tan lines and prickly pears. Stones over Beatles. Freckles and Italian icecream. Beach hair, a cool head and an orange bonnet. Tight bends and high speed turns. Open sky, the engine purrs. City lights and desert rain. The Santa Ana winds will blow it all away.
So-Cal Porschephiles have embodied the myth of the outrageously hedonistic Porsche for generations. But Under the Sun is a tribute to more than just cars. It is a road trip away from the paths most traveled, a shift in the gears of life. As the sun sets over the Pacific and the lights of the metropolis twinkle in the rearview mirror. Windows rolled down, all night self-service.
This book is about what it means to choose self determination. Where does this road come from? Who cares. What’s ahead of you is all that matters. Don’t tell me where it ends. There is always a few more laps around the circuit. And the 911 looks good even when it’s unwashed. Worn-out leather, no frills.
What if I say you‘re not like the others?
Kate Bellm/La Isla
Mirage Edition No.1
Shipping worldwide from Europe.
All major payment systems available.
La Isla may evoke a feeling of nostalgia for somewhere you have never been. Life on the rock seems different than life on the mainland. Here, in the middle of the Big Blue an alternative world is possible. Born out of a desire to depict the joy of exploring new places, Kate Bellm found herself at home instantaneously in Mallorca. She’s been exploring each corner of the island’s Balearic cliffs, surrounded by a group of friends that seem to have become a chosen family. Driven by her love for adventure, community and easy attitude, she has been capturing a sun-drenched journey all around the reef. Kate’s work is an extension of her way of living. She is not an observer, she is fully part of the free-spirited scene that she photographs,taking part in every bit of the adventures she depicts. Free-diving with her girls in search of that underwater magic, climbing up the rocks to reach that impressive cave a few hundred meters above ground, building up floating fires on starry nights… La Isla is a book about listening to the call within to be free, more playful, more spontaneous, transcendental and raw. Take a deep breath and jump into “La Isla”, a remote world made of psychedelic skies, otherworldly desert plants, trippy escapes and intimate encounters under the sea
Mirage No.6
Univers Parallèle
Shipping worldwide from Europe.
All major payment systems available.
Mirage No.6/Univers Parallèle ‘Utopian dream’ is often followed by ‘society’
– a contradiction in terms.
An alternate universe can only exist as a result of an aesthetic instinct – a singular vision – an individualist. A portal only open to themselves and their inner circle first. A microcosm of symbiotic ideas sounds visions and timelines.
Mirage No.5
Voyage Lumière.
Voyage Lumière. Sometimes we need to decide how we want to travel: through space, or through light. Travel, for example, to the sheer luminosity of childhood summers, to the majesty of the sun setting in the Mediterranean. This issue of Mirage explores how light is in a constant flux. We can’t know a place alone, we know it under a certain light, and that changes everything. This issue of Mirage is an invitation to appreciate not how bodies and landscapes are illuminated, but rather how light manifests itself in a much more profound way. A sensorial journey that will take us to Capri, Formentera or Bali, to glimpses of the present made from bright bits of the past, or of dreams we had forgotten.
