OUT OF THIS WORLD

The MYKITA & Mark Borthwick Art Edition

Artist and photographer Mark Borthwick, friends, family and models got together for the sixth MYKITA campaign. They met on Lanzarote, an island of volcanic origin surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to capture some beautiful portraits. The island’s landscape provides a otherworldly backdrop with its black beaches and its rocky volcanic cliffs. 

The setting can be described as minimalist and fantastical at the same time. Borthwick came up with some unconventional nature images all captured with his twenty-five year old analogue Laeica camera, and he even added some prism-like colour effects created by overexposure of the film in order to provide a truly unique and mystical atmosphere. 

MYKITA is publishing these wondrous pictures as an art addition photo book set, featuring the book plus a limited art edition print signed and numbered by the artist. There are three images to choose from, and 33 signed prints of each images are available, making it a total of 99 art editions.

The Art edition will be available in stores from June 2014.
