Amos Mac Reintroduces the Zine

The photography in Translady Fanzine
has attracted a lot of publicity for Mac. The photographs of
Drucker were on display at the Luis de Jesus gallery in Los Angeles in an installation titled, “Distance is Where the Heart is, Home
is Where You Hang Your Heart.”

And searching for models
for the annual publication isn't going to be difficult. Mac does not plan to produce the magazine more frequently and wants to keep the publication as a one-on-one bonding
experience between photographer and model.

“There
is an interest from so many different people,” Mac said.  “It’s going
to be tough.” Mac has, however, started moving forward with subjects to
photograph.

Apart from his two
publications, Mac has side projects.  Mac shot Rocco
(Katastrophe)’s music video featuring Margaret Cho. He also just
wrapped film work this past summer for Valencia.  

“Each
chapter is directed and cast by a different artist,” Mac said. “It’s an
experimental piece.”
