Welcome to JOURNAL.

JOURNAL is an independent photography arts magazine published from Zürich to the world. It is the work of American artist Jill Corral — part memoir, part how-to guide to our visual zeitgeist. Launched in 2025 and published on the spring and autumn equinoxes, it has reached hundreds of readers around the globe. Inspired by life-long artists who documented their evolutions like Agnès Varda and Daidō Moriyama, Jill begins with the work on these walls — and hopes to inspire all creative souls on their own journeys.

FOTOZINEGARTEN celebrates the individual creativity and community joy of DIY photography zines. The garden features the work of international zinemakers — from the personal collection of the curator and the open call for this exhibition. Swiss-made zines are well represented, as well as those from across Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, and beyond. 

MACH MIT invites you to join us in the magic of photozines. Make your own instantly or see yourself on the cover of JOURNAL.
