Toronto-based artist duo, Double D’s, conceives Aqua Solo, a deep-cleansing zine replete with poetry and images of watery, spaesthetic vacation-scapes. Pages lay under 4-colour neon risographs of watery “mall-erfall” landscapes with icy-clean porcelain, no-make up tutorials, before/after make-overs and beach-ready ‘beauty shots’ of me-time at the mani-pedi salon. Aqua Solo: a cellphones-off-for-take-off aeroplane sanitarium obsessively chiming “No More Notifications” like a commercial for a technological cleanse on neon pink robo-massage-chairs with a side of pop-soda spray tans. The Institute of Contemporary Arts calls it, “feel good look good neon riso poetry.” – Cynthia Or
