weko Pressure

weko Pressure is an independent publishing collective based in Hamburg and Rotterdam, organized by weko and Sijia, occasionally joined by friends. Since 2021, weko Pressure has been making books and zines that translate complex social pressure and unnamed feelings through comics, architectural matters, and visual narratives. Working between Chinese and English, their work introduces imaginative and objective places and beings, positioning how physical details and bodily states can carry emotional and latent meanings beyond language.

Someone said they saw a crocodile slip into a manhole, but no one believed it at first. Then the city started experiencing random power outages. When people began digging to investigate, they found cables and pipes that had been damaged in unnatural ways. The crocodile rumors kept spreading, and the blackouts spread like a disease - so did the construction.
