In this publication, Jannik Abel traces a profound journey from personal grief to ecological awakening. Following the loss of multiple family members in rapid succession, Abel turned to nature—not as escape, but as connection. Months spent camping, eventually leading to life in a forest home, became a practice of both healing and discovery. Nature, in Abel's words, reconnects us to our loved ones and to the world itself. The zine weaves together Abel's artistic vision with their decade of documenting protest movements across Norway. It lives at the intersection of art, activism, and nature joy, articulating a politics rooted in love for the living world. As extractivist capitalism fractures our relationship with the earth, Det Naturlige offers us a precious way forward, grounded in witness, care, and the wild places that hold us.

På Feil Sted (est. 2026) is part of Masahat’s ongoing interrogation of the limits and possibilities of art in public space. Through a series of zines, we initiate a conversation with young people about the state of the world and the function of art in processes of social and political change.

This series of zines is co-published by Hverdag and Masahat.
