PINGUIN Volumns is a publishing initiative turning artists’ concepts into unique book-objects

is an independent publishing initiative founded by artist Ilan Weiss.
It brings artists together to create limited-edition book-objects, handcrafted copies where design, materials, and structure are shaped to match each concept.
Each edition is first launched at PINGUIN Space in Brussels and online, before seeking collaborations with publishers to reach a wider audience.

Upcoming Project - "Quetzalcoatl's Voyage: The Blood Codex"

A New Lens on Ancient Stories is a bold reimagining of fifteen foundational myths and historical narratives from the Bible, Sumerian epics, Celtic lore, Viking sagas, and Mesoamerican legends. Blending logic, cross-cultural parallels, and speculative history, it challenges “official” versions shaped by power and conquest. From Eden’s expulsion to the Maya collapse, blood flows as a recurring motif—symbol of life, sacrifice, and transformation—linking distant worlds through shared human themes of curiosity, belief, and survival. This is not a book about debunking, but about rediscovering myths as mirrors of connection, inviting readers to see the ancient world not as isolated cultures, but as intertwined chapters of a common human story.
