Be Good Now by Ronan Mckenzie and Acne Studios
Be Good Now is a personal photo project by photographer Ronan Mckenzie, created in collaboration with Stockholm-based Acne Studios for their FW22 denim collection. The exhibition is an assemblage of images and texts that seek to explore Mckenzie’s connections with her Caribbean heritage and identity and was shown at the London-based gallery HOME.
The publication was designed by Regular Practice, using Skanner by Approximate Type for the headlines and Neue Haas Grotesk by Linotype/Commercial Type for the body text.
From Regular Practice:
A short run of 200 photo books, accompanying print holding a narrative piece, a poster, and folder to hold together.
The object uses colour combinations which reference the colours of the island in Barbados, from Ronan’s images. All colours are foil embossed, and the poster is printed 4 colour over a base layer of white.
The book was printed by Kingsbury Press and made available at Acne Studios stores.
