Stranger of the Month

Interactive publishing

Stranger of the Month is an amateur publishing project based on novel forms of distribution and collective creativity. As a service for generating instructions for ‘the anonymous other’, Stranger of the Month takes its cue from ‘how to’ manuals, spy novels, new age self-help mantras and minor acts of everyday subversion.

Intended as an artistic interruption in a social situation, the nature of the instruction can assume varied forms. Instructions may provide a remedy to the doldrums of a working life; an awakening to behaviours that are habitual or unconscious; or they could function as a call to action, for the purpose of a particular cause or belief. Alternatively, instructions could operate in a more covert way, to form the beginnings of a game of deception and intrigue.
