Tampons have long been cast in the shadow of clinical hues and stereotypes of millennial pink, but the latest issue of Ordinary seeks to reframe its visual representation while continuing their exploration of wacky and innovative interpretations of the mundane.
Ordinary #9 provides humorous renditions of tampons used for harvesting crest, a volcanic plug, nail art or as stolen trophies for criminal squirrels. Featuring over 25 artists, Ordinary #9 employs a consistent layout, displaying each image on a double page spread, directing its readers full attention to the imagery, hence why it isn’t cluttered “with any design and decoration”, said Ordinary co-founder Max Siedentopf in an interview with BJP-online in 2018.
