With a focus on unhindered and personal submissions revolving around a given theme, IMPORTANT MAGAZINE seeks to shine a transformative light on matters close to the heart of contemporary artists, photographers, scientists, chefs, animals, writers and spiritual beings. The aim is to bring the contributors a new platform where they can freely explore subjects outside their natural habitat and also put a more personal angle up front.
ISSUE 3: VANITY
Issue 3 of IMPORTANT MAGAZINE is exploring the theme of VANITY. As a subject it not only plays to elegance and subtlety with intellectual flair but also individual signatures and elements of surprise. This issue contains an exposé of how we all are apt to create a shell identity on the way to our true selves and the shedding of all other fake IDs. Poetry that grasps the sky and the edge of a letter, feelings that overwhelm words. How do we as humans play with masquerades, movement, comparison, identification arranged as graphic intensity and sensory investigations. Photography and scenarios travel beyond 'mere' vanity to the realm of excellence and revelation. Skin texture and adornments being points to the sublime. All this warped and wefted as images and texts, ancient and modern.

ISSUE 2 : ADVANCE OR REMAIN
The second issue of IMPORTANT MAGAZINE focuses on the body shapeshifting from physical entity to digital and back. In what realm do we belong (exist) and how do we navigate in the current landscape of the self vs onscreen identities? Are we changing, are we forgetting, how are we human and what does that mean exactly? How does the body survive and renew itself while its data are being harvested and invested in societies submerged in surveillance? Is the notion of the human itself transmuting, and how do we distinguish ourselves from the algorithms and the codes that are now producing, modifying and filtering our interactions with one another?

ISSUE 1 - ENLIGHTENMENT
Cover 4, Present Skins shot by Fryd Frydendahl, black & yellow.
The first issue of IMPORTANT MAGAZINE is bringing light into important matters and sharing esoteric subjects at large. All contributors were free to interpret the theme, some quite abstractly exploring the undercurrent and what lays beneath and others working directly with light and fire. Alexander Tovborg speaks very powerfully about the resurrection of the symbol and the worship of mammon and we proudly feature an original artwork made for this inaugural first issue. In a Q&A with Mister Frieda, the parrot living with artist Cindy Sherman, important matters such as favourite words, nuts and holiday destinations are shared with great generosity. Hasse Nielsen and Nathalie Schwer have explored the portal in the mind of a young woman on a journey through an evocative forest all dressed in bespoke paper dresses by Cecilie Bahnsen exclusively made for this story. Henrik Alm & Nicole Walker from Berlin, portrays a duo of modern females, exploring bodies and their behaviour on their own terms for themselves only. Writer and horror aficionado, Susanne Madsen from London, digs deep into her fascination, and artist Troels Carlsen contributes with disquieting images. Mary Lennox brings iridescent light onto nature’s most valued botanicals with Becca Crawford, while Rose Theodora shares her knowledge from above on the forthcoming year with her forecasting horoscopes. Ann Sophie von Bülow has visited Eileen Gray’s villa E-1027 and reflects upon the writings on the walls.
