About Me

HYDRA MAGAZINE

We are a collective of writers with varied interests and concerns, bound together by our undertaking of the essai in its ancient form as an exercise of the self. For that reason we focus our efforts on a broad range of topics spanning the creative, political, strange, and everyday endeavors of human life. We find no small object too banal for our meditations; no topic too fantastic for our methodical entertainment; no belief too obvious for our questioning.

Thank you Dear Magazine for "fanning" my compilation of Nicole Brenez's avant garde recommendations. I look forward to acquainting myself with you by scrolling through your articles... and pardon me if that sounds inappropriately intimate... reading never did care about the proprieties.

WaterMirror, thank you for posting it! Our articles and essays were written in the fullest intimacy, amongst moving pictures--so please feel free to dip into them and inhabit as you will--

Thanks for the follow! I read your article on Hollis Frampton last week and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to doing some more exploration and perhaps pitching an essay in the near future.
