Alec Vivier-Reynaud is a french bio-designer working at the intersection of biology and graphic design. Graduated from the National School of Decorative Arts of Paris, his biodesign researches propose a new paradigm where images become living entities. In collaboration with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, his researches tangibly interact and collaborate with the fungal ecosystems surrounding us. Within this new perspective, he notably invents « mycography », a new bio-printing process using biological inks made of micro-fungi.
Much like mycelium that interweaves the layers of life, his researches in bio design weave connections between the disciplines of print, biology, and biotechnology, redefining the creation and experience of an image. By using living organisms as a primary material for reflection, he creates collaborative spaces where new visual and material paradigms emerge. What fungi allow us to perceive is the profound interconnectedness of all things and the interdependence between tools of existence and extinction.

Ingrid Picanyol (Torelló, 1988) is a creative working across graphic design, photography, and poetic writing. Her work is defined by a personal gaze that blends visual sensitivity, lateral thinking, and a certain taste for caprice and controlled delirium.
In 2014, she founded her own studio in Barcelona, from where she leads internationally recognized projects. She works with clients and collaborators around the world, developing visual identities that extend coherently across all dimensions of a brand: branding, packaging, photography, and web design. The studio’s philosophy is grounded in deeply understanding each client’s needs and crafting innovative, inclusive, and world-kind visual ecosystems.
Since 2021, she has combined her professional practice with teaching at Escola Massana in Barcelona, where she lectures in the Art and Design Degree. Since 2022, she has also been exploring poetic writing, a discipline that complements and enriches her creative universe.
For Ingrid, designing is a way of observing and interpreting the world: a process that moves between precision, intuition, and the pleasure of discovering unexpected paths.

Katja Mater is an artist, editor, organizer and educator who studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the postdoctoral institute de Ateliers. Mater has a interest in revealing a different or alternative reality through capturing the areas where optical media hardly behave like the human eye, recording events that simultaneously can and cannot be – holding midway between information and interpretation.
Recent exhibitions include ‘When Things Fall Apart’, Manifold Books, Amsterdam 2024; ’They (The Hours), LambdaLambdaLambda, Pristina 2023; ‘Yours’, 10e Contour Biennale’, Mechelen 2023.
Recent publications include: Time is an Arrow, Error (2020) and soon the 10” vinyl Two (more) Sides of One Thing will be released with the label Futura Resistenza. Mater lives and works between Amsterdam and Brussels.

Great Thanks: Nieves
This work was included in the artist's book "Square Paintings" which was published by Nieves. With the support of Nieves, we would like to thank them for the wonderful opportunity to republish this work as a postal card.
"The book Square Paintings is made from a selection of my oil paintings made between 2001 and 2012. Painting ‘still life’ is very quiet, just like the name. I represent objects, they don’t talk, they don’t move, they don’t change except with the light. I install them in front of me, building a little ‘set’, and then I paint them. The most recent paintings represent things I have constructed, so they look a bit different because people don’t know what the objects are and the paintings look less like ‘still life’ paintings even though they are." Nathalie Du Pasquier
Nathalie Du Pasquier was born in Bordeaux (France) in 1957, she lives in Milan (Italy) since 1979. Until 1986 she worked as a designer and is a founding member of Memphis. She designed numerous ‘Decorated Surfaces’: Textiles, carpets, plastic laminates, and some furniture and objects. In 1987 painting became her main activity.

OTP Copenhagen
Established in November 2021 in Copenhagen’s Nørrebro district, OTP Copenhagen is a contemporary art gallery based in Denmark. The gallery was founded to introduce international art practices and unfamiliar elements of contemporary art discourse to audiences in Scandinavia. The gallery has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting emerging platforms for contemporary art in the region, by acting as an incubator for new artistic methods and ideas. Since its inception, OTP Copenhagen has been instrumental in facilitating the debut exhibitions for many artists in the Nordic countries.
OTP Copenhagen’s exhibition program is dedicated to presenting work by artists who demonstrate a concrete interest in the formation and functioning of social structures, as well as the psychological nuance of human experience, and diverse understandings of contemporary spirituality. The gallery is committed to working with passion and intellectual rigour, and to bringing the utmost care and dedication to showcasing the work of contemporary artists. From the inception of the gallery, OTP Copenhagen has represented the artists Penny Davenport, Erica Eyres and Keith Boadwee. The programme has since expanded to include primary representation of artists based in Denmark, including Anu Ramdas. In 2024 the gallery expanded to open a second location in Copenhagen’s Vesterbro district.
