Nocturne

The new issue of Acne Paper serenades the night. A source of profound inspiration that has held sway over the human imagination since ancient times, the nocturnal realm is a call to imagination for a global assembly of artists, photographers, writers, filmmakers, musicians, designers, and stylists, both past and present, culminating in an issue that celebrates the wonders of the night.

This issue’s theme feels even more prescient given that nocturnal enchantment is under threat from over-stimulating technology and an incessant information cycle. The very essence of dreaming – whether in daylight or under the cloak of night – and the richness of the inner world is being disregarded. The power of the imagination is being diminished.
