The zine BAD LUCK BABY was part of the multimodal installation High Risk High Rewards presented at Röda Sten Konsthall in Gothenburg, where graffiti, destructiveness, and grammatical errors dominated the final form of the zine. It was created with a playful approach where every material flaw was included thus making each special edition zine unique. Its standard production was available within the institution as a pay by donation sample playing into 90s do it yourself zine culture.

It consisted of handmade collages, sketches from tattoos, spray paint on paper, handwritten text, and photographs hinting at a carefree lifestyle. The zine is a homage to destructiveness as a transformation tool, but also a desperate attempt to cope with the challenges of life.
