✨ OBJECT AMNESIC: A COMPOST MANIFESTO by Henrik Strömberg & Jens Soneryd ✨

A meditation on transformation, it unfolds like compost itself — slippery, mutable, both ephemeral and permanent, dissolving narratives while echoing the symptoms of life. The pages challenge technocratic visions that reduce people to brands, nature to resources, and art to simple messages, offering instead a re-enchantment of the world: forests becoming forests again, rivers flowing freely, meanings reclaiming their place from mere functions. At its heart lies a call to shift focus from results to processes, from what things do to what they are.

🌍 Don’t just read — unlearn, compost, transform.
📦 Available now. Link in bio.

✨ The last call ✨

Preorder for VIRIDESCENT, AFIRE by Małgorzata Stankiewicz ends tomorrow!

“In what manner the sea produced
the mysterious and wonderful stuff called
protoplasm we cannot say. In its warm, dimly-lit
waters the unknown conditions of temperature
and pressure and saltiness must have
been the critical ones for the creation
of life from non-life”

🌿 A poetic journey through the increasingly frail waters of the Baltic Sea, where science meets myth and image, tracing our fading ties to the more-than-human world.

⏳ Preorder till September 30 – shipping starts mid-October.

Our story

Established in 2012, BLOW UP PRESS is a boutique publishing house focused on contemporary photography. Our aim is to show unique photo/visual art projects in a form of book. At the beginning we were just online publisher but in 2016 we switched entirely to paper as the best and the only possible medium for photography. Our publications (books and magazine) follow the motto: WHEN THE STORY MATTERS. We don’t want to produce one-time-seen books. We want to create thoughts provoking art objects making people to return.
