No. 5
Beware! This fifth issue of edition.psd, is a long tunneling into the subject of holes.
Holes that open up in the pavement revealing a void
in your stomach; knowledge gaps that make you fall down the rabbit hole; crevasses and underground caves with damp walls; holes in our collective and individual memories excavated by those in power. Faced with the chasms of anxiety caused by the climate crisis, moilesautresart suggests jumping in with both feet: tunnels leading us to somewhere new, sensual assholes, earthworms. Among many others, poet and miner Jules Mousseron, decolonial activist Houria Bouteldja and queer writer Patrick Califia will help us fill the gaping hole in our curiosity.

No. 4
Flying rats, carriers of illness. This is how pigeons are perceived. However, these disparaged animals have a long history of living and collaborating with humans and have in the past been seen as faithful messengers, pigeon-soldiers or poultry. This publication follows the trajectories and breaking points of these pigeon imaginaries by building on Alain Rey’s etymological decrypting, a song from the Mary Poppins film, one of Ellena Savage’s dreams, and an observation of the Monument to the pigeon-soldier in Brussels.
No. 3
fil·le·s de polypropylène bleu
STILL AVAILABLE
What are these blue strings we pick up when walking in the fields or on the beach ? They make up our vision of the countryside, the landscape we call nature. Their abundance in the ground almost make them into a living being. This issue of the publication tells the story of this hard to classify subject/object by transforming it throughout its pages: a lasso, a leash, algae, and a killer plant.
No. 2
Citrus maxima xparadisi
SOLD OUT
In French, a confusion exists between two citrus fruits : the grapefruit and the pummelo. What is their parentage? Can we and should we distinguish them? Where does the vocabulary used to classify plants come from?
This issue attempts to answer these questions with the help of the ethnobotanist Michel Chauvet, the Jesuit botanist Battista Ferrari and the feminist and lesbian activist Monique Wittig.
No. 1
les soleils qui tournent ont des oreilles
SOLD OUT
Sunflowers look a lot like humans: their flowers look like heads, their stalks like bodies, and their leaves like hands. They look like they want something from us. What can we tell them? A Mexican farmer, Don José Carmen, talks to his plants and they give him giant vegetables, and Hans Peter Schiffer managed to grow a 9,17 meter tall sunflower. This issue also invokes the Fox sisters, the founders of Spiritualism. How should we address beings who have a presence but no voice?
