Photo Brick

“Photo Brick” is a 7-color risograph zine collaborated by five photographers using their own cell phone daily photos. Artists selected everyday photographs and printed them using 7 riso ink colors, layering them to create unique compositions and color combinations. This zine presents a fresh and bold exploration of the significance of photography and riso printing. The artists named it “photo brick,” symbolizing the essential and foundational nature of daily photos and its thickness reminiscent of a brick.
