Founded by Olivier Duport, Alan Marzo and Carl Åhnebrink, FLEE is an independent publishing house, record label and curatorial platform dedicated to the documentation and artistic reinterpretation of hybrid cultural phenomena.

Oscillating between different subjects and disciplines, from music to architecture, the collective pursues an inclusive working method, privileging diverse and varied points of view.

Hapax Magazine is a bi-annual publication enabling the creation of new images and ideas while supporting the artists and authors making them. Taking its name from the literary term ‘hapax legomenon’ describing a one-off, creative departure from an author’s oeuvre — Hapax Magazine makes this concept visual by commissioning international lens-based artists and curators who are keen to test new ideas which depart from their previously established creative practice. The result: a magazine quite distinct from the established model, as the content hasn’t existed before, and will only be seen in its printed pages. In an age of visual overload and repetition, Hapax Magazine incubates new ideas, shares them with an international audience, and also keeps them special.
