publishing the unseen
Founded in 2015, Ghost Publishing is an independent publishing house with locations in Oslo, New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo, and Beijing. Specializing in avant-garde and challenging works, Ghost Publishing is dedicated to “Publishing the Unseen” — providing a platform for bold, unconventional projects that explore the fringes of art, culture, and human experience.
Among Ghost Publishing’s notable publications are:
The Book of Love Bites (2019) by Zane Cerpina
ISBN (Print): 978-82-999888-7-2
An intimate and visceral exploration of bodily desire, The Book of Love Bites is a collection of close-up photography documenting the artist’s repeated love bites on a chosen body over four years. This book captures the evolving imprint of passion, power, and somatic expression on the skin, transforming the body into both medium and message.
The New Cookbook: Delights for the Anorexic (2015) by Stahl Stenslie
ISBN (Print): 978-82-999888-2-7
This provocative cookbook challenges the boundaries of taste by delving into coprophagy and other extreme culinary experiences. Intended as an “aesthetic treaty on taste and the edible,” it pushes readers to consider the psychological and cultural intersections of food, identity, and desire.
Dead Beauty (2015) by Stahl Stenslie
ISBN (Print): 978-82-999888-3-4
Dead Beauty examines the representation of martyrs and martyrdom across digital and social media. Stenslie presents a curated selection of martyr images, inspired by his own artistic projects, such as the Suicide Fashion Show and Mothers of the Nation series. The work confronts the complex aesthetics of sacrifice and idealized death.
Ghost Publishing redefines the boundaries of conventional publishing, giving readers access to provocative, often unseen perspectives that challenge and expand the discourse on art and society.
