the identity issue is a transmedial magazine project telling stories linked to identity in one way or another in various forms and sizes. Just like identity itself, the character of the project is ever-changing and evolving over time, with no pretention of totality. The intent is to stay dynamic, candid and open to new aspects and perspectives along the way. As human identity has always been strongly affiliated with stories being both created and passed along, the identity issue will collect, edit, present and link these to create a feeling of identification, a moment wandering off in a tone of past, present and future. Making use of classic print and online media, just as much as video, sound and art, we aim to give each story its respective setting while linking and combining it with other aspects of identity, thus forming new facets and making the identity issue more than a sum of its parts; an entity of identity. As opposed to conventional magazines, there is but one issue: the identity issue, which is being extended and enhanced instead of being discarded periodically.
