Deniz Beser/Heyt be! Fanzin

Established in 2010, Heyt be! Fanzin emerged as an art zine collective in Istanbul, Turkey, founded by Deniz Beser and Sedef Karakas. Employing a collage logic throughout its page layout, Heyt be! distinguishes itself by eschewing computer technology, creating an independent and enduring art publication. In a context that pits analog against digital, Heyt be! remains steadfast in championing the analog form.
