Masterfile´s new magazine "Mysteries"

Duesseldorf, Germanskoje, June 23, 2008. Responding to our clients’ votes in the Mag03 contest, the new Limited Edition Masterfile magazine is called Mysteries. Taking inspiration from Oscar Wilde (the true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible), it’s a 32-page, full-colour booklet, with a selection of baroque, otherworldly images from the Masterfile collection.

In Mysteries you’ll shiver at the sight of Russell Monk’s accordion-playing ghoul, avoid eye contact with Derek Shapton’s eerily staring figure and gaze up at David Mendelsohn’s juggler on stilts, which is surely enough to conjure circus nightmares from anyone’s childhood.
