Started in New York in 1979, this pocket-sized 11×7 cm zine has challenged mainstream media conventions with its minuscule proportions and use of pseudonyms intended to mock our otherwise larger-than-life obsession with brand and celebrity. Once published monthly, Public Illumination now publishes occasionally from Italy, each issue still on a specific topic. Contributions to this quirky zine remain small—275 words or less—just like the publication itself.
