J+K
25 Oct 2017J+K was the winning book of the Puchi Award 2017.
Puchi Award is a project by La Casa Encendida and Fulgencio Pimentel that seeks to reward the most brilliant and innovative book proposals, without giving up any genre, focusing solely on their daring and their connection with the different languages of the present. Located in an imaginary cross between Peanuts and Seinfeld, with color as the absolute protagonist, enriched with various extra contents and inexhaustible in its simplicity, J+K is an art object in itself that celebrates popular culture and its artifacts – records, magazines, video games – to accompany the adventures of two orphaned teenagers (and their dog alter egos) in the trivial setting of a shopping center. J+K manages to move the reader to empathy and immerse them in a reflective and bittersweet tone that is perceived with the five senses, like an ironically perfect consumer object. Includes: risographed magazine with inserts, video game map, health card, sticker set and 5'' vinyl record. Book suitable for readers of all ages.
