ABOUT
Sélavy is an online magazine inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s enigmatic alter ego, Rrose Sélavy, a figure embodying a whimsical blend of wit, irony, cerebral play, and ambiguity. Like its namesake, Sélavy celebrates the unorthodox and the disregarded with a sense of wonder and discovery. The journal wanders into the obscure corners of culture, looking at curious intricacies of art, architecture, fashion, sports, and politics. It delights in the twilight of our intellectual world, weaving together seemingly unrelated elements to uncover hidden connections and present stories that gently nudge the boundaries of conventional thinking. The journal embraces a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, viewing cultural production not as isolated fields, but as threads intricately woven into the fabric of human creativity. Sélavy will lift the stones on well-trodden paths, revealing the surprising, the shocking, the humorous, the poetic, the exciting, and the absurd.
