A collection of articles exploring the phenomenon of the «Club 27"—musicians who tragically passed away at the age of 27.
Even though the club’s figures found themselves in the spotlight of the yellow press and appeared in sensational headlines, they were masters of their craft and individuals with profound histories. This forms the genre of the publication: a magazine mixed with a personal photo album.
The book’s design is reminiscent of a gravestone. Spanning the period from the 19th century to 2017, the collection reflects the somber and continuous chronology of this club.
