Photos by Angelo Thomann LE SOLEIL is a nomadic publishing entity that uses solar energy to publish magazines, photographs, and art books by connecting a solar panel to a printing device.
LE SOLEIL inhabits public spaces to shorten the distance between editor and reader, igniting a spark of bonding, dialogue, experimentation, and co-creation in the streets, at the park, and by the rivers.LE SOLEIL publishes on demand and aims to lessen the exploitation of natural resources, waste, and energy consumption—practices functional to the world of mass quantities. LE SOLEIL guarantees the uniqueness of each copy thanks to a stamp that marks the day it was printed, shifting the focus from the value of limitation in quantity to the value of creation for others. LE SOLEIL is about performance, as the process of printing is impromptu and transparent, open to the participation, interaction, and distraction of, with, and by the public.

Songs for Beasts is an editorial performance made with the solarpunk fashion brand Florania, which was held at Fondazione Sozzani during Milano Fashion Week. While creating unique pieces using the airbrush technique, an impromptu series of scans was born with the intent of documenting the process and the transformation of the tools used during the process. Each scan was printed on the spot, creating limited-edition double-sided posters that were printed and distributed during the event itself. On one side of the poster, the airbrush tools. On the other side, there is a composition of four details of the collection’s pieces that was presented for the performance. Florania’s logo and Aileron, bold, 40pt.
