Issue 7 of Elephant magazine presents a brand new design-style with a new tone of voice.

It is a dense and rich issue featuring among its many highlights exclusive photographic work by Dan Holdsworth, a visit to the workshop of sculptor and large scale levitation master Ron van der Ende, the eyebrow-raising imagery of Hong Kong illustrator Tore Cheung, a study of art inspired by maps, satellite pictures and geography, as well as a guide to one of the world’s most vibrant art capitals: New York – which includes intense, intimate and candid interviews with the likes of Marina Abramovic, Grisha Bruskin, Gregory Crewdson and Robert Longo.
