This rare publication from COMME des GARÇONS’ 2012 Spring/Summer line pays tribute to the legendary Swiss photographer René Burri (1933–2014), whose iconic images captured the heartbeat of the 20th century. The booklet was part of the DM (Designer’s Message) series, highlighting Burri’s humanist eye and journalistic impact through a curated selection of his most striking imagery.

René Burri began photographing at age 13, famously capturing Winston Churchill in Zurich. Trained at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, he rose to international acclaim in 1955 with Touch of Music for the Deaf, published in Life magazine. A Magnum Photos member since 1959, Burri traveled extensively, documenting pivotal historical events including the fall of the Berlin Wall, Tiananmen Square, and Fidel Castro’s Cuba.

He is widely known for his portrait of Che Guevara smoking a cigar—one of the most recognized photographic icons of the 20th century. His legacy includes collaborations with major publications, filmmaking with the BBC, and a deep visual archive preserved today by the Fondation René Burri.

This issue functions as a collectible tribute from CDG, merging fashion, photography, and political memory in an object that reflects Rei Kawakubo’s long-standing relationship with the avant-garde.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
