Papertrail is a publishing duo composed of Apsara Flury, a graphic designer, and Livio Liechti, a writer and researcher. Our practice seeks to provoke critical thinking about the ways in which obfuscated layers of infrastructural power shape the public sphere with the aim of facilitating the emergence of alternative imaginaries.
Risograph printing, and its embodied mechanical friction, inherent limitations and embrace of imperfection, serves as our primary means of production to publish pamphlets, zines, posters and other printed matter. We experiment with place-based circulation methods as prefigurative alternatives to hegemonic digital platforms, such as repurposing street libraries as analogue knowledge hubs.
