Real Review is a contemporary culture magazine that provides intermittent meditations on 'what it means to live today’ through exploration of various themes or ideas that emerge from ‘a current mood’.
Using the review format, this unusual DL-sized magazine explores power relations through a close analysis of the material world in 'a perpetual attempt at describing reality as it might actually exist, and reality as we experience it.'
Previous contributors include Chelsea Manning, His Holiness Pope Francis, Virgil Abloh, Olafur Eliasson, Hito Steyerl, Wolfgang Tillmans, Slavoj Žižek, Extinction Rebellion, Bifo Berardi, Cao Fei, Carlo Rovelli, Robin Givhan, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and many others.
Issue 18 is dedicated to the mood of 'Pretending the World' and features Petro Chekal, Alvaro Fernandez-Pulpeiro, Jack Self, Günseli Yalcinkaya, Ana Nicolaescu, Ivan Self, Tyler Mitchell, Ruth Schwartz Cowan, Pierce Myers, Kwan Queenie Li, Jenny Barcelos, Jessica Burbank, Sumayya Vally, Shumon Basar, James Bridle, Guy Mackinnon-Little, Elmer Blåvarg and RR Members.
