PIX 028 – Peter Voelker / Spotz Photozine Series

Description

Spotz is quietly becoming one of the freshest forces in contemporary photozine publishing. Based in New York City and run by Matt Martin, this limited-edition series—usually 500 copies per issue—spotlights both emerging and established voices in documentary and street photography. Each zine is a compact 5 x 8 inch (12.7 x 20.3 cm) softcover with vibrant, edge-to-edge color printing, giving photographers a clean, punchy format to showcase their vision. From youth culture to neon-lit alleyways, Spotz zines are time capsules with bite.

Known for his saturated slices of the urban world, Peter Voelker’s work lives in that space between signage and suggestion. In PIX 028, Voelker mixes reflections, product placement, and street signage—often with Cyrillic lettering—to create layered compositions full of commerce and contradiction. His images seem still but hum with cultural noise. Pix 028 is like walking through a neighborhood you’ve never been to and catching all its visual rhythms at once.

Coca-Cola never looked so cryptic—Voelker’s take on late capitalism feels like pop art meets post-Soviet street poetry.
