Tools Magazine
No. 04 - Couper (To Cut)
The fourth issue of the annual magazine that promotes know-how and technique in design, craft or industry, looks at the cut.
In this issue, our small team meets with a wide range of people who change our minds. Jenna Castetbon and Romuald Roudier Théron meet a plastic surgeon who works to erase her patients' complexes and restore their confidence. In the same article, the authors meet a taxidermist, a true artist who gives life and intention back to the animals he cuts apart and relieves of their entrails. There are also people in this issue who cut things that grow back. In Bérangère Bussioz's article, we learn that pruning has to take place in certain seasons and phases of the moon, when plants' sap has gone down. We also meet people who cut things that won't grow back, like a stone quarry in Charente, France, that will only be in operation for thirty more years: in her report, Camille Azaïs wonders what it means to cut something apart on such a large scale.
Let's cut to the chase: "To Cut" opened new perspectives for us, full of ambiguity and delicacy. Sometimes they went contrary to our intuition, but they always put us in close contact with materials, gestures, and know-how. Which is to say, this issue is 100% Tools Magazine.
