Oyster Issue 111: The Fantasy Issue

The Fantasy Issue

Reality seems to have lost its centre of late. The real feels unreal — and we’re often wishing it was. But for the buoyant, the unreal feels achievable. Deserved, even. We’re living in a time where the dreamers, more than ever, are able to turn their visions into truths.

Fantasy — be it make believe or manifestation — is truly something we’re gripping onto with whitened knuckles rn. It’s a place to go to stare down your truest self; it’s an idea stripped of reality; it’s magic and adventure; it’s the last thing you’ll share; it’s the impossible, but not without potential; it’s this issue.

Inside, we crack the minds of some exceptional humans who are toeing the line of palpable possibility. We talk desires, dreams and burning ‘what-ifs’. We cling to aspiration, good energies, offline connections... and we don’t let go. So close your eyes (or keep them open, it’s your fantasy after all) and dive into the deepest and darkest, weirdest and brightest.

Featuring exclusive shoots and interviews with Sasha Lane, Luka Isaac, Jazzelle Zanaughtti aka UglyWorldWide, The Paranoyds, Glenn Martens, Y/Project, Matthew Adams Dolan and Filip Custic, this is Oyster Issue 111, The Fantasy Issue.
