La Jetée is a new collective of artists, writers, designers
based in Biarritz, France. They have put together a
first fanzine to showcase their work and express their
vision of the city they live in. Historically, Biarritz has
always been a place of inspiration and experimentation,
espcially in Architecture. This project was the opportunity
for local creatives to experiment without limits.
La Jetée is the french word for " jetty " and represent the
seaside environment of Biarritz. But it also mean " to throw
". In this case, throw out some ideas without limitations.
Biarritz and the Bask Coast is mostly know to be a tourist
destination in the summer, with its palm trees, great waves
and prestigious hotels. But this heavenly city often gets
forgotten the rest of the year. This fanzine aim to show
that there is creative life all year round within Biarritz.
The fanzine is split into two parts a winter and a summer.
The idea came about in March 2015 and the fanzine was
successfully launched on the 24th of July. The release was
accompanied by a party and an art exhibition which was held
at OIM Tattoo in Biarritz. 11 creatives took part in this project.
The covers were spray painted by hand and then screen
printed, which makes each fanzine a unique piece.
